Leeds and Yorkshire motorway closures: All route diversions as multiple restrictions set to be lifted

Travel in and around Yorkshire is set to be boosted this week as a number of National Highways road closures and diversions are set to be lifted.

Closures on the M1 near Meadowhall, M621 at Hunslet Interchange and at the M62 Chain Bar Interchange have all caused issues across Yorkshire in recent weeks.

Restrictions have also caused disruption on the A1M and M62 near Ferrybridge Services, while last week drivers heading for Wakefield via the M1 northbound were hit by slip road closures.

In a welcome boost to festive travels however, a host of slip road closures and diversions are set to be lifted this week.

Long-standing works such as the 50mph average speed camera zones on the M621 through Leeds and on the M1 north and southbound past Meadowhall will remain in place.
