The M67 motorway has been subject to weeknight closures in both directions between 8pm and 6am since July. This has led to traffic, including lorries and cars, being diverted onto Mottram Road in Godley, Tameside.
These diversions are scheduled to remain in place until December. Residents on Mottram Road have reported noise and vibrations from the increased traffic.
National Highways has stated it understands the impact of roadworks on local people and planned the work to minimise disruption. Tameside Council has acknowledged the disturbance to residents and is liaising with National Highways to explore mitigation measures.
The closures are part of the A57 Link Roads scheme, which aims to reroute traffic between Manchester and Sheffield away from Mottram in Longdendale. The bypass construction is anticipated to be completed during the winter of 2028-29.
