Spur into Leeds between M1 and M62. The western section was originally allocated the number M65, whilst the eastern section was part of the M1 until 18 September 1998.
Due to this planning as two separate motorways, the junction between the two (at the present junction 3) features a single-lane section westbound, along with a right-hand entry.
