The M62 is completely closed at its Rochdale junction all weekend. Network Rail is replacing a railway bridge that runs through Castleton, carrying trains over the M62 between Manchester and Rochdale.

The bridge is being demolished this weekend as part of a £22 million project. It means that the eastbound carriageway of the motorway is closed from junction 18 at Simister Island interchange, up to junction 20 at Rochdale.

The westbound carriageway is closed between junction 19 at Heywood and junction 20 at Rochdale. READ MORE: Woman dead after suffering 'multiple wounds' as murder probe opened in Bury Diversions have been put in place but there have been reports of heavy traffic on surrounding routes.
