A key motorway interchange near Leeds is set to close.

National Highways has confirmed that Lofthouse Interchange, located at junction 42 where the M1 meets the M62, is set to close this weekend.

The weekend closure of the southern part of the roundabout will run from 8pm on Friday, October 25 to 6am on Monday (October 28).

Traffic wishing to go M62 west to M1 North will be diverted south to junction 41 where they will be able to join the M1.

Other exits on the roundabout will remain open although delays are to be expected.
