Rush-hour delays hit motorists on the M62 near Bradford this evening as a pot-hole was repaired.

A section of the inside lane of the westbound carriageway between junction 27 (Gildersome) and junction 26 (Chain Bar) was closed at 4.30pm, causing disruption for drivers.

A Highways Agency spokesman said the lane was re-opened 40 minutes later after repair work had been completed.

The hole was originally reported by a motorist at 6pm yesterday and had been temporarily repaired at the time to get traffic moving.
