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 delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• M61, from 9pm February 5 to 5am February 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M61 northbound, junction J1 to junction 2 - lane closure for barriers.

And one more closure will begin over the next seven days:

• M61, from 9pm February 17 to 7am February 18, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M61 southbound, junction 5 - carriageway closure for carriageway - reconstruction/renewal.

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