Highways England says work to reduce congestion on a busy West Yorkshire motorway is due to begin.
The roundabouts and slip roads at junction 27 for Gildersome will be upgraded as part of a two-phase scheme starting on Monday 23 July.
The scheme – which aims to improve journey times - is being funded by Highways England and will be delivered by Leeds City Council.
This scheme is part of a nationwide £220m Congestion Relief Fund which was announced by the government last year to help tackle congestion in local areas and improve connectivity.
Highways England project manager Esref Ulas said: “We have identified problems during peak times – affecting drivers travelling on the M62 motorway near Leeds. This scheme will address those concerns and reduce congestion on this vital route.
“We are working hard to minimise disruption but drivers should allow extra time for their journeys.”
