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

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

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

• M56, from 9pm August 15 to 5am August 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M56 eastbound, six to 7 - lane closure for litter clearance.

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