Road closures: three for Bolton drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Bolton will have three National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a wait 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:

• A580, from 9pm July 24 to 6am July 31, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 North and southbound, junction 21A - 26 lane closures and carriageway closures due to improvement works.

And a further two closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• M65, from 8pm August 3 to 5am August 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M65 eastbound, jct three - four lane closures due to maintenance.

• M61, from 8pm August 7 to 6am August 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M61 southbound, J5 to J3 - lane closure for communications.

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