Road closures: seven for Manchester drivers over the next fortnight

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

And six of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• A5103, from 9pm May 2 to 5am June 1, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 both directions, junction 24 to junction 8 - carriageway closure for electrical works.

• M60, from 9pm May 2 to 6am June 3, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 anticlockwise jct 19 - 18 lane closures and slip road closures due to drainage.

• A5103, from 8pm January 23 to 7am June 9, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M56 both directions A5103 (A560 Altrincham Rd) to M56 Sharston Link - carriageway closure for carriageway - reconstruction/renewal.

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

• A5103, from 9pm June 1 to 5am July 1, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 both directions J24 to J8 - carriageway closure for electrical works.

• M60, from 9pm June 5 to 5am June 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 clockwise, junction 5 entry slip lane closure due to maintenance works.

• M60, from 9pm June 8 to 5am June 9, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 clockwise, junction 3 to junction 5 - carriageway closure for carriageway - reconstruction/renewal.

• A5103, from 8.30pm June 11 to 5am June 27, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A5103 both directions M56 to Mersey Crescent - carriageway closure for horticulture.

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