Overnight closure on Chain Bar roundabout
Chain Bar roundabout at junction 26 on the M62 will be closed overnight on Saturday 4 July to enable narrow lanes and temporary road safety barriers to be installed as part of the £5.6 million scheme to add an extra lane to the roundabout.
The roundabout will be closed from 7pm Saturday until 9am Sunday 5 July.
The closure is part of a Highways England project to widen the roundabout from 3 to 4 lanes. During the closure there will be clearly signed diversions in place and all the existing lanes will remain open throughout the day to keep delays to a minimum.
Project Manager, Esref Ulas, said:
This overnight closure will allow us to install temporary safety barriers and narrow lanes which will minimise the disruption to motorists so we can maintain three lanes around the roundabout during the construction works and will also keep our workforce safe whilst they carry out this major improvement.
