Delays of up to two hours have been reported on the M62 in West Yorkshire due to emergency repairs on a motorway viaduct.
National Highways said there were "severe delays" westbound on Tuesday afternoon and into the evening between junction 24 for Huddersfield and junction 22 for Denshaw in Greater Manchester.
The agency said damaged bridge joints on the Rakewood Viaduct required repair, with two of three lanes closed nearby.
A full carriageway closure at the location will be implemented overnight to carry out the repairs in full, National Highways added.
