Road closures: six for Manchester drivers this week

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

And five of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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

• M60, from 8pm May 3 to 6am May 17, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 Clock and Anticlockwise, junction 27 to 18 carriageway closure for inspection works.

• A5103, from 8pm January 23 to 7am May 31, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M56 both directions A5103 (A560 Altrincham Rd) to M56 Sharston Link - carriageway closure for carriageway - reconstruction/renewal.

• 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.

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

• M60, from 8pm May 15 to 6am May 22, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 both directions J20 to J21 - carriageway closure for white lining/road markings.

• M60, from 9pm May 19 to 5am May 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 anti-clockwise, junction 20 to junction 19 - 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.
