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 two 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 two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A663, from 9.30am March 27 to 3.30pm April 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A663 North and southbound, lane closures with switching from Lydia Becker Way to Fold Green for footway upgrade.

• A627(M), from 8pm February 20 to 6am May 1, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A663 both directions A663 to A627M - lane closure for electrical works.

And one more closure will begin over the next seven days:

• A663, from 8pm April 14 to 5am April 17, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A663 both directions Middleton Rd to Foxdenton - carriageway closure for carriageway - reconstruction/renewal.

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