Bolton's motorists will have six road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And three of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week.

Each evening from 8pm to 6am up to Saturday, April 20, there will be moderate delays on the M61 in both directions between junction four and seven.

This is due to a lane closure for horticultural works including cutting and planting.

Each evening from midnight to 11.59am, up to Saturday, April 20, there will be slight delays of under 10 minutes on the M61 southbound between junction five and six.

This is due to a hard shoulder closure for drainage works.

From Saturday, April 20 to Monday, April 22, between the hours of 9pm and 5am, there will be moderate delays on the M61 southbound between junction three and four.

From Saturday, April 20 to Sunday, April 21, between the hours of 10pm and 10am, there will be moderate delays on the M61 at junction three to A666 northbound and southbound.

Finally, from Thursday, April 25 to Saturday, April 27, between the hours of 9pm and 5am, there will be slight delays on the M61 in both directions between junction six and junction eight.

This is due to a lane closure for barriers which is permanent.

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