ROAD closures will continue as part of the M62 improvement scheme.
Junction eight in Burtonwood – described as one of the 'most heavily used and important access points' into west Warrington – was earmarked for work due to often being at capacity and having 'little scope to accommodate predicted increases' in traffic.
The improvement scheme was developed to reduce existing levels of congestion and increase the junction's capacity to support future growth in jobs and houses.
The below closures will be in operation from 8pm to 6am.
February 19: Burtonwood Road full closure (between M62 junction eight and Kingswood Road) including Charon Way westbound from its junction with the Gemini Retail Park
South roundabout gyratory full closure (entrance is available to Charon Way eastbound but not Burtonwood Road, Skyline Drive westbound and M62 westbound)
Skyline Drive eastbound traffic will only have access to M62 Westbound
All traffic diverted to A49 and junction nine

Access to Burtonwood Road Service Station will be available off Burtonwood Road opposite the junction with Lockheed Road for Omega North traffic.
The one-way route out of the services will be reversed allowing HGVs to enter the services via Burtonwood Road and also onto the M62. This will also mean that the HGV ban into Burtonwood village will remain.
