Road closures: two for Oldham drivers this week

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 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 8pm February 20 to 6am May 1, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A663 both directions A663 to A627M - lane closure for electrical works.

And one more closure will begin over the next seven days:

• A663, from 9.30am March 27 to 3.30pm April 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A663 North and southbound, lane closures with switching from Lydia Becker Way to Fold Green for footway upgrade.

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