Road closures: two for Bolton drivers over the next fortnight

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists 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 over the next two weeks:

• M60, from 9pm June 3 to 5am June 4, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M62 eastbound, junction 11 to junction 12 - lane closure for communications.

• 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.

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