Overnight closures are set to begin on the M62 next week as drainage repairs and resurfacing work are carried out near Rochdale. The westbound carriageway will be affected from Monday night (November 16), with two separate projects requiring the closures.
Westbound closures for bridge repairs
The M62 will be closed westbound between junction 20 for Rochdale and junction 21 for Milnrow overnight, between 9pm and 5am, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This is to repair the Broad Lane bridge, which carries the B6194 over the M62 between junctions 20 and 21.
The same closure will then take place on November 20 and 21, November 28, December 12 and December 16.
Eastbound closures and slip road shutdowns
Eastbound closures between junction 20 for Rochdale and junction 21 for Milnrow will follow, running overnight between 9pm and 5am on November 25, 26 and 27, and on December 3, 4, 7, 9 and 13.
The westbound exit slip road at junction 20 will also be shut for drainage works. It will be closed between 9pm and 6am on November 16, 17, 18 and 20, and from 9pm to 7am on November 21, 28, December 12 and 16. The drainage work is set to continue until April 2027.
