I presume from the next bit that you're talking about the new bit of the M1 past Garforth - this one needs a bit of care as the A14 (nee A604) was also billed as A1/M1 Link Road at around the same time.
Guessing that you are on about the M1 extension at Leeds, it opened in 1999. (Have a look at any Motorway Database page for opening dates.)

Before it opened the M1 went into central Leeds, terminating at what is now M621 J3. It didn't end on the M621 as such; there wasn't full access between the two motorways. They just both terminated at the same point and dumped all their traffic onto Dewsbury Road.

Ah yes! J3... well that proves my thoughts then...
Whenever i am on the westbound M621 i get 2 j3 and traffic on the M621 ends up merging with traffic from the dewsbury road, so I had been thinking if the section from the dewsbury road was newer, and never used to be there.... and it seems my thoughts were right!

There's a map from the early '80s at http://domesday.domesday1986.com, if that's of any help.

A991/Dundee Inner Ring Road/Marketgait becomes full loop with completion of section from Victoria Road to the Circle at the East Port.

Haven't a clue what year the Tunnel was completed though, may have been '96 if the publication of this report is anything to go by

It's definately 1992 as I have the opening pamphlet (for that particular section).

I remember the a13/A176 5 Bells being completed in 1993 and the queues where it went from D2 to Narrow S2 while they rebuilt this and the old diversions while they carved up the old roundabout
