Road closures: two for Bolton drivers this week

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

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that both of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

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

• M61, from 9pm March 29 to 5am March 30, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M61 northbound, J2 to J4 - lane closure for carriageway - reconstruction/renewal.

• M61, from 9pm April 4 to 5am April 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M61 southbound, J4 to J3 - lane closure for signs - erection.

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