Each evening from 8pm to 6am up to January 20 there will be slight delays of under 10 minutes on the M61 in both directions at junction six. This is due to a lane closure for works on behalf of Bolton[1] Metropolitan Borough Council.
Each evening from 8pm to 5am up to February 15 there will be moderate delays on the M61 in both directions between junction four and seven. This is due to a lane closure for horticulture works including cutting and planting. A further five closures will begin over the next two weeks.
From January 22 to January 23 between the hours of 9pm and 5am there will be a carriageway closure on the M61 northbound between junctions three and four. This will cause moderate delays of between 10 and 30 minutes. The closure is in place for carriageway reconstruction and renewal works on behalf of National Highways.
From January 23 to January 24 between the hours of 8pm and 5am there will be lane closures on the M65 eastbound between junctions three and four. This will cause slight delays of 10 minutes. The closure is in place for maintenance works.

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