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

And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing holdups of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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

Each day 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 lane closure throughout this time for drainage works.
