Closure warnings have been issued for one of Greater Manchester's busiest routes ahead of a major roadworks scheme.A £390,000 project from National Highways will see resurfacing and replacement road markings and road studs around junction 23 of the M6 at Haydock Island.
Similar work will also be taking place further along the motorway, between junction 26 at Orrell and junction 27 at Standish in Wigan.Highways bosses say the work at Haydock Island starts next Monday (September 9) and will focus on the motorway junction roundabout with the A580 East Lancashire Road and A49 Lodge Lane.
Drivers are being warned to expect some overnight closures on the A580 between 8pm and 5am to allow the work to take place.Eastbound A580 closed from the A58 Liverpool Road to Haydock Island for five nights from Monday (September 9).
The entry slip road to the northbound M6 will also be closed during these nights.Westbound A580 closed from Golborne Island roundabout to Haydock Island on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 September.Marc Hindle-Banks, National Highways’ assistant project manager, said:
"The work at Haydock Island and along the M6 will provide safer, smoother journeys for road users."The maintenance work taking place further north along the M6 includes resurfacing both the southbound and northbound carriageways along a mile-long section of the motorway between junction 26 at Orrell Interchange and Spring Road bridge.
Overnight lane closures will be in place until the end of the month to allow this work to take place safely.
