A number of planned closures will take place on the region's motorways over the next few days, including the M60[1], M56 and M62[2].
National Highways, who manage the country's major A-roads and motorways, report that closures will take place each night from Monday (February 9).
Closures will also take place on the M6 and M61.
Every driver should be aware of the closures, so we have listed every section of motorway in Greater Manchester, and just outside, that will be closed this weekend.
