There’s no let up for road closures in the run up to Christmas, with five Greater Manchester motorways being closed in sections this week, December 16-20.
National Highways, the organisation which manages the country’s major A-roads and motorways, has issued a list of all the planned motorway closures in Greater Manchester this week. It confirms five motorways in the region will be closed, typically for maintenance work.
The five motorways are the M58, M60, M61, M62, and M67. Closures typically begin around 9pm, and are usually lifted by 6am.
It’s best to plan ahead so you don’t get caught out and have to take a detour. So because every driver should be aware of the closures, we have listed every section of Greater Manchester motorway to be closed this week.
