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 two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing holdups of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are 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.

• 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.

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

• A663, from 9pm April 11 to 5am April 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 anti-clockwise, junction 21 to junction 20 - Lane closure for barrier/Fence Safety Repairs.

• M60, from 8pm April 22 to 6am April 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 clockwise and anti-clockwise J23 to J25 - Lane closure for Structure - maintenance.

• M60, from 9pm April 25 to 5am April 27, 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.
