M62 Night Closures Start August 17 | UK News

M62 closures are coming every weeknight from August 17th to September — and they’re not going away anytime soon. Between junctions 22 and 23, the motorway will shut down nightly from 8 PM to 6 AM, Monday through Friday, for essential repairs on Scammonden Bridge. Originally slated for April, the work was delayed due to public feedback and moor fires — but now it’s finally happening. The bridge, which carries the B6114 over the M62, is getting new steel parapets to ensure long-term safety. Expect detours: eastbound via A672, A58, A646, A629; westbound via A629, A646, A58, A672. And this isn’t a short-term fix — the bridge will remain closed weeknights until January 2027. Plan ahead, stay patient, and brace for the grind.
