Road closures: four for Stockport drivers over the next fortnight

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

And two of them are expected to cause delays 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:

• M56, from 8pm July 19 to 5am August 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M56 westbound, M60A to M56 - lane closure for drainage.

• M56, from 8pm July 28 to 7am September 4, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M56 eastbound, link road closure to A34 northbound, due to gas works.

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

• M60, from 9pm August 17 to 5am August 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 anti-clockwise, junction 5 to junction 2 - lane closure for horticulture.

• A5103, from 8.30pm August 21 to 5am September 12, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M56 both directions, junction 3 to junction 4 - 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.
