THE new M65 extension looks likely to open before the year's out.
A Department of Transport spokesman said: "Unless we have non-stop snow, the extension will be opened in the first or second week of December. I would like to say for certain that it will be open by Christmas, but we can't guarantee these things." No date can be fixed until a decision has been made about who will open the £150 million link between the M65 and M6.
