Bolton's motorists will have three road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing a holdup of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place are expected to carry on this week.

Each evening from midnight to 11.59pm up to July 31, there will be slight delays of up to 10 minutes on the M61 southbound between junction five and six.

This is due to a hard shoulder closure for drainage works.

A further two closures will begin over the next two weeks.

From 8pm on Tuesday, June 25 to Wednesday June 26, there will be moderate delays on the M60 clockwise between junction 11 and 12.

This is due to a carriageway closure for communication works on behalf of National Highways.

From 8pm, Thursday June 27 to 6am Friday June 28, there will be slight delays on the M61 southbound between junction three and five.

This is also due to communications works on behalf of National Highways.

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