Overview

• National Highways will close the M62 eastbound overnight between junctions 24 and 25 from 8pm to 6am on August 28 and 29, with fully signed diversions in place.
• Drivers are instructed not to rely on satnav, with separate diversion routes provided for vehicles above and below 4.8m in height.
• From September 1 to November 21, narrow lanes and a 50mph limit will be installed on the eastbound carriageway to support ongoing works.
• Three full overnight closures in both directions are scheduled for October 10, 11 and 12 to crane‑lift the culvert liner into position.
• The project involves re‑lining and repairing the culvert, exposing and reinstating chambers and adding a new downstream chamber, with possible noise and short‑notice changes flagged on National Highways’ live updates.
