Night closure at Brighouse (J25) to (26) Chain Bar.

Thanks for the heads up. Any idea where we can find out what time it closes from?

I think it's usually 8pm till 6am the following day

The closures will commence at 8pm in the evening and be lifted by 8am the following morning.

We'll have to take the scenic route like after the widnes game, I think I'll pack the sleeping bag!!!

Charming!!!

Seen elsewhere it saying Junction (24) Ainley Top and (25) Brighouse......

Does that mean we can exit at Brighouse (25) as that would be no problem for me as I'd be coming off there anyway.....?

=#FF0000M62 overnight, weekend closures J25-30


The Highways Agency will be installing 36 new gantries and refurbishing 16 existing gantries on the M62 motorway in West Yorkshire between junction 25 and junction 30 from March to November 2012. In order to carry out this work safely sections of the M62 will be closed, there will be 20 closures.

You can get off at 25 Brighouse and the matrix signs are saying its just closed between 25 and 26 this weekend.

Great news for me....thanks a lot for that mate.....

be nice to call off at Marstons chicken shop for snaffles on the way back



juction 25 it is

Working in Oldham and driving from Wakefield everyday its normally faster to drive through Dewsbury and Ravensthorpe though i am usually driving at rush hour, it is more or less a straight road from Dewsbury on Huddersfield road/ A644 and then on at Junction 25 hope this helps.

do it every working day and it is faster but watch out for 6 yes 6 speed camera's


crap road surface as well

Haha yeah but id take 6 speed cameras over the god knows how many average speed cameras on the M62 at the moment!!!!

I take it then that spped limit signs are meaningless then?

Don't talk to me about speed cameras on the M62!!! My Dad once got slippered for going 0.1 mph above the 50mph limit in my car! The rozzers were determined to do me for that even though i wasn't even driving the bloody car!!!! Justice when those cameras are concerned is merciless. Those camrras are only there to "protect" the "workforce" that invariably aren't on the carridgeway in the first place, GRRRRR!!!!!

Sorry for my Jeremy Clarkson-esque rant, folks.

Haha no but the speed limit signs dont make me sit there watching the speedo to make sure i dont go over 50 instead of watching the road for the people working on the motorway (that arnt actually working on the motorway at all!!!! )

Sounds like the M62 is a nightmare this afternoon, good job SKY moved the game to saturday isnt it??

1 hours 20 mins Ossett to Brighouse, nightmare.

I will come off at 23 and go over grange moor

So he's breaking the law then, the limits 50 drive at 45-48 and you wont have a problem.


Those cameras are to protect all the road users in narrow lanes, but if its easier to blame everyone else please do so.

I'm far from an apologist for speeding, but the length of time that 50 zone has been in place is ridiculous - crossing the M62 during daylight hours is like one of the trials of Hercules and has been for ages.

do it day in day out do the speed limit but the truck drives still want to run you off the road

Me too, don't these lorry drivers ever get done for speeding?????

Maybe the cameras aren't actually working

I can disabuse you of that notion - I got pinged on the way back from the Widnes game doing 57; it was after midnight and there wasn't another car or a workman in sight.
