Diversions will be in place
A 'key' section of the M62 will be closed for two full weekends in September to allow for a bridge to be replaced.
Gary Farrell, National Highways’ senior network planner , said: "Network Rail clearly needs to replace what is an ageing bridge and a critical piece of the railways infrastructure supporting the important Manchester Victoria to Leeds service and other routes. "It’s worth noting that as well as working closely to coordinate lane and carriageway closures with Network Rail we have or will be using as many opportunities as possible to complete routine maintenance at the same time – reducing the need for our own lane and carriageway closures at other times. We would like to thank motorway users and anyone living along the diversion routes for their patience and support.
Anyone heading east will use the strategic road network alongside drivers from the M66 or the M60, reaching Simister Island and travelling to junction 21 of the M62 at Chadderton, where they will use the A663 and A627M to join the M62 at junction 20. Drivers heading west will be diverted off at junction 20 and will head back to the motorway via Middleton, using the A627, A664 Rochdale Road and A6046 Hollin Lane, before rejoining at junction 19.
