Road closures: two for Stockport drivers this week

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

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that both of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 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:

• M60, from 9pm August 9 to 6am August 26, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 clockwise and anti-clockwise, junction 5 to 1 - Lane closures and carriageway closures for drainage.

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

• M60, from 8pm August 20 to 6am August 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 clockwise, junction 24 - 27 lane closures due to electrical works.

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