The M62 near Huddersfield and Halifax (junction 22 to 25) and the M621 near Leeds have bow become the first UK motorways to have LED lights. In total, 1,618 street lights have been changed.

The project also included upgrading street lighting power supply equipment on both roads and the installation of a remote monitoring system which allows contractors to remotely control the lights.
