These are closures National Highways has scheduled, mostly overnight. Plans can change on the night, and a closure only shows above as in force once our last check has seen it set up, so one that has passed its start time may already be in place.

Each hour is compared with that sensor’s own free-flow speed rather than the speed limit, because some sensors sit on bends and slip roads that never reach 70 mph. Quiet hours carrying under 600 vehicles are left out, so overnight roadworks are not mistaken for congestion.

Questions about the M60

Is the M60 closed right now?

2 closures were in force at our last check of the National Highways feed (1:38am today, UK time): M60 Anticlockwise Jct 25 entry slip road hardshoulder closure; and M60 Clockwise Jct 26 entry slip road closure. This covers planned roadworks and lane closures, not accidents.

Is the M60 closed tonight?

National Highways has 10 closures booked on the M60 in the next 24 hours, the first due from 9pm, so it may already be in place: M60 anticlockwise lane 1 closure (MP 5/8 to 4/3); M60 Anticlockwise lane 3 closure (MP 1/5 to 53/5); and M60 Clockwise Jct 27 entry slip road closure, plus 7 more. Plans can change on the night.

When will the roadworks on the M60 finish?

One long-running scheme is listed: M60 Anticlockwise Jct 25 entry slip road hardshoulder closure, due to end 5 Dec 2026. End dates are National Highways’ own schedule and can move.
