Road closures: six for Bury drivers this week

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

And five of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing holdups of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• M66, from 8pm October 1 to 6am October 3, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M66 northbound and southbound, J3 to J4 - Lane closure for drainage.

And a further five closures will begin over the next seven days:

• M60, from 8.30pm October 4 to 5am October 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 clockwise and anticlockwise, junction 15 - 18 lane closures due to barrier works.

• M60, from 9pm October 5 to 5am October 6, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 clockwise and anti-clockwise, junction 18 to junction 21 - carriageway closure for maintenance works.
