Commuters, beware! Your morning drive just got a lot more frustrating. A chaotic start to the week has left drivers stuck in lengthy delays on key Calderdale routes, particularly the A629 and M62. But here's where it gets even more frustrating: these delays are not just your average Monday morning blues. A crash on the M62 Eastbound at J25 A644 Wakefield Road (Brighouse) has brought traffic to a near standstill, with slow-moving vehicles now relegated to the shoulder. According to Google traffic data, drivers on the A629 at Ainley Top can expect a 14-minute delay, while those on the M62 near Brighouse face a 10-minute hold-up. And this is the part most people miss: these delays could ripple through the entire morning commute, affecting not just drivers but also public transport and delivery services. Is this a sign of things to come as traffic volumes continue to rise, or just an unfortunate one-off incident? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
