Bolton motorists are being warned of a lane closure on the M61 next week.

From 9pm on Friday, February 17, until 7am on Saturday, February 18, there will be moderate delays at junction 5 of the southbound carriageway.

This comes as works will take place on the carriageway for reconstruction and renewal works.

The roadworks are only expected to cause moderate delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
