Unbelievable traffic across Rochdale caused by the closure of the M62 in both directions at Rochdale from Friday night until Monday morning this weekend and next weekend... might be a smart move to set off very early for next Saturday's game.
I haven't seen any warnings about this closure, but traffic is backing up all over the Borough ..currently 20+ minutes from Bolton Road / Tesco to Sandbrook Park ...
Apparently its bridge works over the Motorway somewhere..... |  | | |  |

I believe it should be ok next weekend as the motorway is scheduled to reopen at 6.00am on Monday and then close again a week on Friday. |  | | |

It's been even longer than that, certainly at least 6 months. | | | |

We hit the traffic coming off the M61 onto the M62 it took us 70mins to reach the whitefield turn off....
4 lines of traffic trying to converge into 1 is the issue....... |  | | |

There has been plenty of warning about it . Even on the overheads as far down as Stafford on M6 they warned of problems and to take alternative routes last night. Trouble is people don't take any notice of roadsigns any longer. Being an HGV night trunker is an absolute nightmare trying to get anywhere in this country due to road closures. |  | | |

One hour from Elk Mill to.Marland, coming off A627M Slattocks. Set of complete tvvats bombing down the hard shoulder at times, too. |  |

It has indeed been one of the best publicised road closures in years. Lots of gantry signs, local papers and online media, even BBC breakfast TV this morning. Thankfully they don't coincide with our games - although Owdum will be unhappy as the official diversions affect them badly | | | |

I knew all about it in advance so allowed extra 1 hour to travel from Rochdale to Wigan (in line with google maps prediction - outward 27 miles journey took an hour, return took 5 hours... the outside lanes need closing in turn several miles before the motorway closure rather than allowing 4 lanes to converge at the closure [Post edited 7 Sep 19:36]

Will the hard shoulder not be covered by camera's, so the police can send them notification of potential fines and points awarded to their driving? | | | |

They love a good closure on the M6 at nights, and on the A50 too most nights, with what seems like not a great deal of work going on, the best joke is the M6 around 23 where it's had night closures for over 2 years solid. | | | |

Chaos reigned for sure and more of the same next Saturday.
Hopefully the club has fully briefed Solihull Moors so they can make the necessary plans for travel. | | | |

They love to shut full carriageways so they can do some gardening. Boils my blood when they could leave at least a lane open for it | | | |

They are stopping at the 5* Hotel wrapped around Spotland Stadium with the Car / Coach park on the roof.

Should be OK according to this, but perhaps give yourself a bit of extra time if you can as it has been busier in the mornings around Sandbrook Park as people seem to be altering their schedules a bit, just in case of delays and actually causing them! .... | | | |

Thanks. Looks like westbound traffic is being diverted via Slattocks tonight anyway. | | | |

I’m coming over on the bus. Saves a lot of potential aggro. | | | |
