WHILE the future of smart motorways may be in doubt, work on the M62 is continuing as normal for now.
The Transport Secretary announced last week no new smart motorways will be opened until a Government safety review is completed after claims they were a 'death trap'.
A 10-mile stretch between Croft Interchange and Eccles (junctions 10 to 12) had been due to open in March this year after two years of smart motorway work disrupting journeys.
While it's not yet clear what will now happen to that section of road, if you have spotted a matrix sign during your commute along the M62 and now can't remember the dates we have this guide for you.
All the roadworks generally take place between 10pm and 6am and there will be diversions in place along the M56 and M60.
