The new road involved the construction of a series of new junctions, bridges and viaducts to the east of Leeds. When the new section of M1 was completed and opened on 4 February 1999, [14] the Leeds South Eastern Motorway section of the M1 was re-designated as the M621, and the junctions were given new numbers: M621 junctions 4 to 7.
The M1 is straight and flat on the 6-mile (9.7 km) stretch between Junctions 9 and 10 and on the 4-mile (6.4 km) stretch between Junctions 12 and 13, and an urban myth exists claiming that these were to be used as supplementary runways by the United States Air Force in the event of a major conflict with the Soviet Union.

In 2006 works were carried out on this junction – to widen the slip roads, to install new traffic signals, to create a dedicated left-turn lane from the A509 to the northbound M1, to widen the southbound A509 to three lanes between J14 and Northfield roundabout, and to create a new access road from the A5130 to the (then) proposed new 500 ...

This section opened in stages, first from the M62 to junction 1 in 1971 (this was originally numbered M65), and then next from junction 1 to junction 3 in 1973.
