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

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing a wait of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• M60, from 8pm December 4 to 5am December 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M60 anti-clockwise J2 to J27 - lane closure for communications.

• M56, from 9pm December 4 to 5am December 16, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M60 both directions J1 to J25 - lane closures and slip closure for drainage.

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