Stockport road closures: six for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

Stockport's motorists will have six road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And three of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing holdups of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• A5103, from 8.30pm June 24 to 5am June 26, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M56 eastbound, junction 4 to junction 1 - carriageway closure for Horticulture (Cutting and Planting).

• M60, from 8pm June 26 to 3am July 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 Anticlockwise, junction 27 lane closure 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.
