M62: Road Traffic Control

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of when the lane closures on and in the vicinity of Boothferry Bridge on the M62 will be removed and all lanes open to traffic.

Answer

Following routine investigations that identified a partial failure of a joint on the M62 Ouse Bridge eastbound carriageway, National Highways is currently undertaking further inspections and engaging with specialist providers, designers, and contractors to determine a programme for replacement or repair of the joint.

National Highways’ priority is to develop the right solution for the bridge whilst minimising the impact for road users. The current lane closures are anticipated to be in place into summer 2023. Further detail and progress updates can be found on the scheme page on National Highways’ website.
