Oldham road closures: two for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

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

And they are both 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 one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A627(M), from 8pm September 30 to 5am October 9, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A663 both directions Middleton Rd to junction 1 A627M - carriageway closure for carriageway - reconstruction/renewal.

And one more closure will begin over the next two weeks:

• M62, from 9pm October 9 to 5am October 13, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M62 westbound, junction 22 to junction 22 - carriageway closure for construction - bridge/structure.

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