Oldham road closures: four for motorists to avoid this week

Oldham's motorists will have four road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And two 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 four closures are due to start this week:

• A663, from 9pm September 26 to 5am October 31, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A663 northbound and southbound, Mough lane to Long lane - Lane closure for inspection/survey.

• M62, from 9pm September 28 to 5am September 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M62 eastbound, junction 21 to junction 23, Lane closure for barrier repair.

• A663, from 8.30pm October 5 to 5am October 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A663 northbound and southbound, Broadgate to Foxdenton Lane - Lane closure for Horticulture (Cutting and Planting).

• M60, from 8.30pm October 7 to 5am October 9, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 clockwise and anti-clockwise, junction 20 to junction 23 - carriageway closure for maintenance works.

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