The Highways Agency will be carrying out work on Adkin Interchange Bridge which carries the M62 over the A629 at Junction 24 of the M62 near Huddersfield next week.
The work involves removing and replacing the bridge deck waterproofing and expansion joints. Work will take place overnight, between 9pm and 6am from 28 August until 28 October.
In order to minimise the disruption to drivers, during the day three narrow lanes will remain in place on the westbound carriageway of the M62. Overnight there will be westbound lane closures.
To ensure the safety of drivers and roadworkers a 50 mph speed restriction will remain in force on the M62 at all times. When complete these works will prolong the life of the bridge and reduce the need for further roadworks in the area.
Highways Agency project manager, Alan Apps, said: "This work will reduce the need for further roadworks in the area. We have planned these works carefully to minimise the disruption to drivers and local residents. During the works we advise road users to plan their journeys to avoid delays. Safety is our top priority and for the safety of road users and roadworkers we encourage all drivers to drive carefully through the roadworks, keeping within the speed limit, and concentrating on the road ahead."
