Roadworks to construct a car-share lane including widening and resurfacing at the Chain Bar junction in Bradford will be suspended over the festive period.
The major project from junction 2 to 26 of the M606 will be halted before 6am tomorrow until midnight on New Year's Day, the Highways Agency has announced.
Minister for roads Tom Harris said: "At Christmas and the New Year the Highways Agency takes all possible steps to allow drivers to use the roads safely and without delays.
"Removing roadworks will not only help people who are travelling to visit friends and family, but also Christmas shoppers and goods vehicle drivers who will be on the roads making deliveries as we approach the holiday.
"The roads will be busy, so we urge drivers to plan their journeys and leave extra time to travel safely at this busy time."
