Greater Manchester drivers are being warned to plan ahead on Monday evening (November 24) as there are nine motorway closures in the region tonight.

Regular maintenance means sections of five motorways in Greater Manchester will close overnight, all of which are expected to be fully re-opened by 6am on Tuesday, November 25.

However, incidents like a crash could affect the planned closures.

All of the motorway closures planned are to allow scheduled maintenance to take place, according to information handed out by traffic monitoring service Inrix and National Highways, the organisation which runs Britain's motorways.

The five motorways affected tonight are the M58 in Wigan[1]; the M66 in Bury[2]; the A627(M) in Rochdale[3] and Oldham[4]; the M60[5] in Salford[6], south Manchester, and Stockport[7]; and the M61 in Bolton[8].

Closures begin from 9pm, so any late-night journeys might be disrupted.

We've made a list of all the motorway closures in Greater Manchester tonight, November 24, 2025, below.
