MOTORISTS face severe delays this morning on the M62 due to two lane closures eastbound.  

Traffic is reported queuing between junction 25 Brighouse and junction 26 Chain Bar with up to a three-hour delay reported at 8.30am.  

There is also congestion at junction 22 Rishworth Moor.   

There are also reports of a broken down vehicle causing congestion.  

The motorway gridlock has also caused long delays of traffic queuing to Cooper Bridge and Bradley Bar roundabout plus Brighouse was brought to a slow crawl through sheer weight of traffic trying to avoid the motorway.
