Road closures: five for Oldham drivers this week

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

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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 7am March 12 to 5pm April 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A663 northbound, from Foxdenton to A627M lane closure for carriageway Reconstruction.

And a further four closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A627(M), from 9pm March 28 to 5am May 29, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A663 northbound, from Middleton Road to A627M carriageway closure for Sign Erection.

• A663, from 9pm March 30 to 5am April 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A663 northbound, Foxdenton Lane to Milton Drive - Lane closure for carriageway Reconstruction.

• M62, from 8pm April 3 to 5am April 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M62 eastbound, junction 21 to 22 - Lane closure for Structure - New/Reconstruction.

• A627(M), from 8pm April 4 to 6am April 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A627M northbound and southbound, junction 1 to 4 - Lane closures for drainage.

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