Multiple motorways are due to be closed overnight in Greater Manchester this week, meaning late-night drivers will need to plan ahead.
National Highways, the organisation which manages the country's major A-roads and motorways, has issued a list of all the planned motorway closures in Greater Manchester this week (November 24-30). It confirms seven motorways in the region will be closed, typically for maintenance work.
The seven in question are the A627(M), M56, M6, M60[1], M61, M62[2], and M66. Closures typically begin around 9pm, and are lifted by 6am.
They come as more than 1.2m journeys were made to the city centre last weekend, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) said, as Christmas[3] Market shoppers and festive revellers descended on town.
TfGM is urging any visitors to the city to consider using public transport to make it into town, with Metrolink[4] park and rides open across Greater Manchester.
Four pop-up park and rides have also been opened.
All drivers should be aware of the closures, which is why we've listed every section of Greater Manchester motorway to be closed this week.
