Road closures: six for Rochdale drivers over the next fortnight

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

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

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• M62, from 9pm November 22 to 5am November 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M62 eastbound and westbound, junction 22 to junction 23, Lane closure for barrier repairs.

And a further five closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A627(M), from 8pm November 27 to 5am December 30, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A627M both directions A663 to J1 - carriageway closure for drainage.

• M66, from 8pm November 27 to 6am November 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M66 both directions J1 to J4 - lane closure for structure - maintenance.

• M62, from 8.30pm November 30 to 5am December 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M62 eastbound, junction 21 to junction 22 - lane closure for communications.

• M60, from 9pm December 4 to 5am December 5, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 clockwise and anticlockwise jct 18 - 21 lane closures and carriageway closure due to 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.
