Road closures: two for Oldham drivers over the next fortnight

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A663, from 8pm June 6 to 5am June 30, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A663 both directions Moston Lane East to A627M J1 - lane closure switching for signs.

• A627(M), from 9pm June 7 to 5am June 8, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A627M northbound, A663 Broadway, junction Parkview to junction 1 entry - carriageway closure for carriageway.

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