Not if you join M62 westbound towards Leeds from A1 at Ferrybridge and leave at Junction 32 onto A639. You will bypass Ponte to the west of the town centre.
This also avoids the A1 at Darrington which has been a rolling road block for months thanks to roadworks.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
