Drivers have been warned of major changes to their journeys after the M62 junction closure starts tonight.
The M62 closure starts tonight and lasts over the weekend Drivers will face major changes to their journeys after the M62 closure tonight – the first of two weekend closures coming up. Motorists in Greater Manchester face disruption this weekend as the M62 closes in Rochdale today. The M62 sees around 120,000 vehicles a day and it connects Liverpool and Hull via Manchester and Leeds. The closure is needed so that Network Rail can demolish and replace the Castleton rail bridge over the motorway.
‘We’ve been working with staff from Network Rail for many months to plan and publicise this work including the two full weekend closures. Diversions during the M62 closure Motorists have been strongly advised to plan ahead and learn the diversion routes before travelling. Here are the diversion routes in place this weekend.
