Calderdale's motorists will have six road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing holdups of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that four closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

And a further two closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• M62, from 9pm March 8 to 5am March 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M62 eastbound, junction 24, slip road and lane closure for sign erection, diversion via local authority and National Highways networks.

• M62, from 11pm March 8 to 5am March 9, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M62 westbound, junction 22, slip road closure for sign erection, diversion via local authority and National Highways networks.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
