Road closures: four for Bury drivers over the next fortnight

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

And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing waits 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:

• M60, from 9pm August 15 to 5am September 30, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 anti-clockwise, junction 19 - carriageway closure for electrical works.

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

• A56, from 9pm September 11 to 5am September 12, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M66 northbound and southbound, junction 1 to bent gate - carriageway closure for Horticulture (Cutting and Planting).

• M60, from 9pm September 16 to 5am September 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 clockwise, junction 19 entry slip road closure due to barrier works.

• M66, from 8pm September 18 to 6am September 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M66 both directions J1 to J0 - lane closure for structure - maintenance.

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