The Bolton News: Congestion

A spokesman for the National Highways North West said: "To help keep you on the move, we have 535 gritters based at 128 depots strategically located across the network.

"At the start of each winter we have over 280,000 tonnes of salt stored in our barns.

"When the weather gets severe, all of our gritters can have snow ploughs fitted and we also have 21 snow blowers which can remove up to 2,500 tonnes of snow per hour.

"We have around 250 weather stations across our network, monitoring the conditions around the clock. We use this information on overhead signs to warn you of severe weather and road conditions."

All weather updates which can affect driving will be updated by the National Highways Team.
