Local rules
Road works in Wigan
Wigan Council is the highway authority here. Almost every English highway authority now runs a permit scheme under the Traffic Management Act 2004, so works on the road need a permit, applied for through the government's Street Manager service. Minor works usually need 3 working days' notice, standard works 10 and major works 3 months.
Main roads across Wigan include the M6, M58, M61, A6, A49, A58, A577, A579, A580 and A5209. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.
We also cover the neighbouring areas of St. Helens, Bolton, Salford, Warrington and Lancashire.
