Bolton road closures: three for motorists to avoid this week

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 moderate delays – with drivers facing holdups of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures are due to start this week:

• M60, from 8pm June 28 to 5am September 30, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M61 northbound and southbound, junction 1 - nine - Lane closure for communications.

• M61, from 8pm July 3 to 5am July 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M61 southbound, junction 6 - four Lane closure for structure maintenance.

• M65, from 9pm July 4 to 5am July 31, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M65 eastbound and westbound, j3 to j4 - carriageway closure for White Lining/Road Markings.

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