THE M65 between junction six at Whitebirk and seven at Clayton-le-Moors will be closed from 9pm on Wednesday, April 30, until 5am the following day.

The closure will allow a redundant farm access bridge across the carriageway to be demolished. A replacement bridge is already in place as part of work to connect the existing motorway to the new section under construction.

A signed diversion route through Rishton will go via the A678 and Dunkenhalgh Way.
