The road is closed both ways within Junction 2.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said it comes after a "report of concern for the safety of a man on a bridge".

Traffic is being diverted off and on via the roundabout, which is causing heavy congestion and delays in the area. Drivers have been urged to consider alternative routes.
