Road closures: five for St Helens drivers this week

Drivers in and around St Helens will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And they are all are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing holdups of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• M58, from 9pm June 6 to 6am June 13, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 southbound, junction 27- 23 carriageway closure due to SMART improvements.

And a further four closures will begin over the next seven days:

• M58, from 9pm June 13 to 6am June 14, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 northbound and southbound, junction 27- 23 carriageway closure due to SMART improvements.

• M6, from 9pm June 14 to 6am June 15, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 northbound and southbound, junction 23- 26 carriageway closure due to SMART improvements.

• M6, from 9pm June 15 to 6am June 19, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 southbound, junction 21a to 26 lane closures and slip road closures due to SMART.

• M62, from 8pm June 16 to 7am June 19, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M62 eastbound, junction 6 - seven lane closures and slip road closure due to resurfacing.

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