UK Road Closed: National Highways

A section of the strategic road network in West Yorkshire is set to be closed overnight due to essential maintenance. The stretch of road will be shut from tonight, Thursday 10 August, at 7pm until 5am on Friday 11 August, as part of ongoing work by National Highways.

The closure is located near Bradford, at National Highways Closure — 505895, and will affect drivers using this section of the strategic road network. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and check for alternative routes to avoid any potential delays. National Highways has provided the necessary information to Road Closures UK, which is working to keep drivers informed about this and other disruptions.

As part of the maintenance work, the road will be closed to all traffic, including HGVs and buses. This is a high-severity closure, meaning that drivers may experience significant disruption to their journeys, and it is essential to allow plenty of extra time for travel. Motorists are advised to check traffic and travel apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, for the latest information and to plan their routes in advance.

National Highways is working hard to complete the maintenance work as quickly as possible, but drivers should be prepared for delays. The authority is urging all drivers to follow the signed diversion routes and to be patient and understanding of the disruption. The diversion will be in place for the duration of the closure, from 7pm on Thursday 10 August to 5am on Friday 11 August.

While the road is closed, drivers may need to take alternative routes, which could add significant time to their journeys. Motorists are advised to check the National Highways website for the latest information and to follow the signed diversion routes. Road Closures UK will also be providing regular updates on this and other disruptions, so drivers can stay informed and plan their journeys accordingly.
