Oldham road closures: three for motorists to avoid this week

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing a holdup of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures are due to start this week:

• M60, from 8pm August 8 to 6am August 13, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 anti-clockwise J24 to J22 - Lane closure for Structure - maintenance.

• A627(M), from 8pm August 15 to 5am August 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A627M southbound, junction 1 exit slip road lane closure due to maintenance.

• M62, from 8.30pm August 20 to 5am August 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M62 eastbound and westbound, junction 19 to 21 lane closures due to general 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.
