    Henconner Lane Bridge (above) in Bramley and Valley Farm Bridge in Rothwell will both have work undertaken to replace expansion joints.

    The work at Henconner Lane will take place from 07:00 to 18:00 on both days.

    On Saturday, a full closure of the southbound carriageway will be in place where Henconner Lane crosses the Stanningley Bypass. The following day the northbound carriageway will be closed.

    The works are expected to be completed by 18:00 each day, but the closure order can remain in place to allow the contractor to work later should it be needed.

    The work at Valley Farm Bridge will take place on three consecutive nights where the A1 Wakefield Road crosses the A639 between 20:00 and 05:00.

    To allow the work to be undertaken, the A61 will be closed during these hours with a signed diversion in place.

    This will only impact southbound traffic, northbound A61 traffic will be unaffected.
