There will be Monday - Friday overnight (10.00pm-5.00am) closures on the M60 and M62 during the next three weeks.

Highways England spokesperson said: “We will ensure there are adequate signs on the network to ensure road users are able to use suitable diversion routes.”

Upcoming closures include:

  • Anti-clockwise M60 between junction 15 and junction 12 – 10pm to 6am on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights
  • Westbound M62 between junction 20 and junction 18 – 10pm to 6am on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights

A major smart motorway scheme is taking place to cut congestion and improve journey times on parts of the M60 and the M62 in Greater Manchester.

The scheme involves overnight slip road and carriageway closures, with narrow lanes and a temporary 50mph speed limit in place for the safety of drivers and road workers.
