Road closures: two for Manchester drivers over the next fortnight

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

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M60, from 9pm October 23 to 5am October 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 anti-clockwise, junction 5 to junction 3 - lane closure for electrical works.

• A5103, from 9pm October 30 to 6am November 3, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M56 both directions M56 Sharston Bypass to M60 - carriageway 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.
