DRIVERS are being warned of a lane closure on the motorway.
National Highways says the exit slip road on the M1 at Lofthouse is partially closed.
The southbound exit slip at Junction 42 (Lofthouse Interchange) has one lane closed due to a damaged parapet from an earlier collision.
Temporary safety measures are being taken and these will be installed under a full closure tonight from 8pm.
From 6am, drivers exiting the M1 southbound at junction 42 intending to join the M62 eastbound will need to approach and stop at the roundabout to give way, before joining the M62 eastbound.
"Due to the nature of the safety measures, a lane one closure will remain in place until a permanent repair is made to the parapet," National Highways say.
"This repair will not take place for at least three weeks.
"Drivers in the area should expect delays and congestion at peak times until the permanent repair is made."
