If anyone is due to venture on to the M62 corridor in West Yorkshire its currently closed completely westbound south of Bradford and one lane eastbound is also closed. I have just returned from a trip to Mansfield and it has taken me the best part of an hour to do about 2 miles.

This closure is affecting the M62, M621 (which will begin to affect Leeds city centre), M1 junction with M62 and all surrounding roads. Avoid if you can.

A wagon has overturned shedding its load of gas bottles.

Was also closed eastbound from j22-j24 on Momday night, all the traffic was routed through Halifax because of a lorry fire - felt sorry for the two miles of stationary traffic on there that didn't leave at j22.

You don't realise how easy that road makes things until it's shut....we could do with better alternatives.
