National Highways warning of trans-Pennine congestion as M62 will be closed both ways
Drivers using the M62 this weekend are being warned of major delays as a section of the motorway will be completely shut.
National Highways, which operates the M62, is urging drivers planning local or cross-Pennine trips over the weekend to delay journeys, look for alternative routes well away from the area or check for congestion before setting out. "This weekend, queues are likely again along the M60, M62 and diversion routes especially during the day and we strongly urge people planning to travel to delay their journeys or use alternative routes well away from this part of the motorway network.
Staff at National Highways’ regional operations centre at Newton-le-Willows and National Traffic Operations Centre at Birmingham will again be setting advance and real-time messages on electronic signs across the motorway network to warn drivers ahead of and during the weekend closure. Drivers diverted off the westbound M62 at junction 20 should join the southbound A627 and then use the westbound A664 and northbound A6046 to re-join the M62 at junction 19.
