A host of motorway works are set to take place across Leeds and Yorkshire this week. But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes. The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways[2], include long term disruption such as between junction 1-7 of the M621 Leeds.
