• M65, from 8pm March 5 to 5am March 7, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M65 eastbound, eight to nine – carriageway closure for signs – erection on behalf of National Highways.

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