Here's when work on Scammonden Bridge will begin with details on closures and diversions
Major work to upgrade a bridge over the M62 is set to begin.
Work is set to start on Scammonden Bridge on April 20 and is expected to finish in October 2026.
An existing aluminium parapet will be replaced with a new steel parapet.
Scammonden Bridge carries the B6114 over the M62 between junctions 23 (Outlane) and 22 (Rockingstone Moss) in Calderdale.
National Highways shared: “Our upgrades are vital to the long term safety and integrity of this structure.
“We'll need to fully close the M62 in both directions between junctions 22 and 24 (Ainley Top) while we work.
“We have to close the road to protect both road users and our workforce.”
Closures will be overnight, from 8pm to 6am, Monday to Friday in three blocks.
Closure one is expected to take place between May 12 and 27, the second between June 19 and July 9 and the third closure between August 6 and 25.
Diversions for drivers are as follows:
If you are driving eastbound, leave the M62 at junction 22, then take the A672, A58, A646 and A629 and re-join the M62 at junction 24 (Ainley Top).
If you are travelling westbound, follow this route in the opposite direction.
Due to the narrow width of Scammonden Bridge, the B6114 over the bridge will be closed for six months.
National Highways shared: “Lane closures alone wouldn't give us a safe working area.
“We apologise for any inconvenience.
"Thank you for your patience while we complete this essential safety work.”
