UK Road Closed: National Highways

Motorists in the north of England are being advised to plan ahead and check for alternative routes after a section of the strategic road network in Greater Manchester is set to be closed overnight. The road, which is located near the 495077 grid reference, will be shut from 7pm on Wednesday, August 6, until 5am on Thursday, August 7.

The closure, which has been confirmed by National Highways, the organisation responsible for England's motorway and A-road network, is necessary for maintenance work on the strategic road network. Drivers travelling through the area are being warned to expect delays and are advised to use alternative routes, such as local A-roads or diverting around the area to avoid the closure. Motorists are also encouraged to check traffic and travel apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, for up-to-date information on traffic conditions in the area.
