On Wednesday, April 27, the M62 eastbound to M6 northbound and southbound link road at M62 junction 10 will be closed overnight from 8pm until 7am the following day. The M62 westbound to M6 northbound link road will also be closed for these works. Diversions will be in place via the M62 to junction 11 and back, and the M6 to junction 21 and back.
National Highways stated: "Deep carriageway inlay repairs are planned for the M62 eastbound to M6 northbound link road. The work will include the replacement of road markings, road studs and traffic count loops."
Regarding the progress of the overall project of works at junction 10, it added: "We've recently carried out work to repair the carriageway at the M62 junction 10, otherwise known as Croft Interchange. The work to repair the carriageway on the M62 at junction 10 is progressing well, and all surfacing work is now complete.
"However, due to bad weather conditions at the end of last year, we were unable to replace the bridge joints. We’ve re-programmed these works around other projects taking place in the area, to make sure we minimise disruption. These will now be completed in April 2022."
