Bolton road closures: three for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

Bolton's motorists will have three road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And two of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M61, from 8pm June 5 to 5am June 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M61 northbound, J6 to J8 - lane closure for structure - new/reconstruction.

• M61, from 10pm June 17 to 10am June 18, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M61, junction 3 - A666 northbound and southbound, carriageway closure due to maintenance works.

• A580, from 9pm June 19 to 6am June 26, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 North and southbound, junction 21A - 26 lane closures and carriageway closures due to improvement works.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
