These are the roads closed overnight due to snow as National Highways issue 'severe weather alert'

A number of roads around Greater Manchester will be completely closed on Thursday night (March 9) due to treacherous conditions caused by snow.

Some Cross-Pennine routes, which are busy A-roads that can become dangerous in snow, sleet and frosty conditions, will be closed overnight, Transport for Greater Manchester has announced.

The roads that are closed due to the snow are the A672 Ripponden Road, A640 Huddersfield Road, A635 Holmfirth Road, the A57 Snake Pass and the A628 Woodhead Pass. Drivers have been urged to use the M62 instead if they are heading out of the region across the Pennines.
