The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure is due to start this week:

There will closures on the M65 eastbound and westbound, between junction 7 to 10.

• A56, from 9pm July 25 to 5am July 28, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M65 eastbound and westbound, junction 7 to 10 lane closures and carriageway closures due to general maintenance works.

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