Road closures: six for Tameside drivers over the next fortnight

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

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

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that five closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A57, from 8pm January 2 to 5am January 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A57 eastbound and westbound, Hyde Road works in footway and two-way traffic signals.

• M60, from 8pm January 7 to 6am January 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M67 westbound, three to 1 - carriageway closure for inspection/survey.

• M67, from 9pm January 10 2023 to 5am February 26 2025, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M67 eastbound and westbound, J1a to J3 - carriageway closure for Structure - New/Reconstruction.

• M67, from 8pm August 11 2023 to 6am December 27 2025, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M67 eastbound and westbound, one to 4 - narrow lanes for construction - bridge/structure.

• M60, from 8pm March 27 2023 to 6am May 3 2026, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M67 eastbound and westbound, junction 1 - four lane closures and carriageway closures for Structure Reconstruction.

And one more closure will begin over the next two weeks:

• A57, from 8pm January 17 to 6am January 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M67 westbound, junction 4 to J3 - lane closure for electrical works on behalf of National Highways.

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