Transport for Greater Manchester Issues Travel Advisory Ahead of Christmas Markets and M67 Closure

As Manchester gears up for the festive season with the launch of its popular Christmas Markets on Friday, November 8, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has issued a travel advisory urging the public to plan ahead.

M67 Closure Notice

For drivers, a major closure of the M67 in Tameside is scheduled from 9pm on Friday to 5am on Monday, affecting the stretch between J1A and J3 due to essential bridge work. TfGM advises drivers to use official diversions and avoid relying solely on sat nav guidance. Local residents in areas like Denton, Hyde, and Stalybridge are encouraged to consider alternative routes, public transport, or adjust their travel times, as increased traffic is expected on diversion routes.
