Travel disruptions on weekends due to scheduled road closures and a motorway accident.

This weekend, drivers are in for a rough time on the roads as planned closures and a serious accident have caused major disruptions. The M62, a popular motorway for those traveling to Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and Hull, is especially affected. Due to ongoing construction work on Casteleton Bridge, drivers should anticipate heavy traffic between junction 19 and 20 in Rochdale. Network Rail will be putting the finishing touches on the bridge, causing delays for those passing through.

But that's not the only issue on the M62. An unfortunate collision between a lorry and a pedestrian has resulted in a carriageway closure between Junctions 29 and 30. This incident occurred overnight and the closure is expected to last until midday. Diversions have been set up to help ease the congestion and allow drivers to reach their destinations.

Meanwhile, in Nottinghamshire, another crash has caused the southbound M1 to be closed. A lorry and car were involved in the accident, leading to a complete shutdown of the motorway. Commuters are advised to use alternative routes and expect delays in the area. The closure is expected to last until midday, giving emergency services enough time to clear the scene.

In the bustling city of London, Transport for London (TfL) has announced multiple closures of the Blackwall Tunnel. The first of these closures will take place tonight, starting at 11pm and lasting until 5am on Monday. The southbound tunnel will also be closed on October 11 and 18. These closures are necessary for essential maintenance work to be carried out, ensuring the safety of drivers and commuters who use the tunnel.

Overall, it's important for drivers to plan ahead and allow for extra travel time this weekend. With multiple closures and diversions in place, it's crucial to stay updated and follow the instructions of traffic officials. Let's all stay safe on the roads and keep our patience during these necessary closures.
