SIR – My travels on motorways from Bradford, no matter which way I go I encounter roadworks. M1, M62 near Castleford, M62 near Rochdale.

Further north, hold-ups on the A1(M). A 50mph speed restriction in place but during rush hour it’s a total nightmare. Catching up with someone who is doing 30mph.

These are the ones who cause the tailbacks. Some people are setting off an hour earlier in order to get to work on time. Now we read about an extra lane to be installed on the M62.

More disruptions on a road that has just had millions spent on it. May I ask where this extra lane is to be put, as all the bridges and overhead gantries are designed only to take the three lanes and hard shoulder?
