Road closures: three for Oldham drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Oldham will have three 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 three closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A663, from 8pm January 2 to 5am January 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A663 both directions Long Lane to Semple Way - lane closure for white lining/road markings.

• A627(M), from 9pm January 3 to 5am January 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A627M northbound, junction 2 to junction 2 - lane closure for litter clearance on behalf of National Highways.

• M62, from 9pm January 6 to 5am January 7, 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.
