Bury road closures: three for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

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

And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing waits of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• M60, from 9pm December 3 to 5am December 4, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 clockwise and anticlockwise jct 19 - 18 lane closures and slip road closures due to maintenance works.

• M60, from 8.30pm October 18 to 5am December 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 both directions J18 to J16 - lane closure for construction improvement/upgrade.

And one more closure will begin over the next two weeks:

• M66, from 9pm December 11 to 5am December 13, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M66 southbound, junction 2 entry slip road closure due to drainage.

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