Commuters heading to work in Bolton this week could be faced with frustrating queues as major roadworks start across the borough.
Some routes continue to be affected by long-term construction, The Octagon Theatre works and changes in Blackburn Road to name a few, and traffic disruption is anticipated to carry on for months.
Here are all the major roadworks drivers in Bolton should look out and plan for this week.
Bridge Street (Prestolee New Bridge), Stoneclough
Temporary traffic lights will have been in place here since Monday February 24 for bridge refurbishment. They will continue into April, with Bolton Council's Highways Department expecting the work to be finished on Friday April 4.
Bury Road (junction with Crompton Way) and Crompton Way (junction with Bury Road), Bolton
A lane closures, during off-peak hours, will continue in both roads until Tuesday May 5.
The works to improve the junction began on Saturday February 1 and have been causing serious traffic problems in the surrounding areas.
Chorley New Road (junction with Winter Hey Lane), Horwich
Temporary traffic lights will be operating in off-peak hours. Traffic signal works began in the road on Monday February 24 and will continue until Friday April 3.
Coronation Street (Newport Arcade to Victoria Square), Bolton
A lane has been closed here since August and there are still months to go until The Octagon reconstruction is completed. Bolton Council says the lane will be closed until May.
Howell Croft South (outside Octagon Theatre), Bolton
A one-way towards Le Mans Crescent has been in place since August and is expected to continue into May for reconstruction works at the theatre.
Hacken Lane, Bolton
New roadworks in Hacken Lane will be causing major disruption this week with temporary traffic lights in place at all times. Electricity North West works began on Friday February 28 and will be ongoing until Friday 6 March.
High Street, Little Lever
Bolton Council is expecting 'medium' levels of traffic disruption because of temporary traffic lights. Gas works have been ongoing since Friday February 14 and will continue until Thursday March 12.
Hospital Road (at the Last Drop Village), Bolton
Temporary traffic lights are in place for manhole repairs. The works began on Monday February 24 and continue until Friday March 6.
These works will most likely add to congestion already heavy at rush hour through Bromley Cross.

This road will be closed during off-peak hours, from 9pm to 7am for railway bridge maintenance. The works, being done by Network Rail, started on Saturday 29 February and will end on Monday March 2.
The station is also undergoing other works as a leaking roof over the stairs down to the platforms is due to be fixed.
