Bolton road closures: two for motorists to avoid this week

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing a holdup of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• 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.
