Drivers are being warned to expect major delays
Part of the motorway around Rochdale , Heywood and Middleton will be shut from 9pm on Friday to 6am on Monday, while work to replace a railway bridge at Castleton is completed. The same stretch was closed earlier this month resulting in huge tailbacks and congestion.
This weekend the eastbound M62 will be closed from junction 18 at Simister Island to junction 20 at Rochdale, while the westbound motorway will be closed between junction 20 and junction 19 at Heywood. Olivia Boland, Network Rail sponsor, said: "We understand this motorway closure this will cause disruption, and we thank passengers and motorists for their patience and cooperation. Please check before you travel on the M62 or between Manchester and Rochdale this weekend."
