The traffic measures will ensure the safety of both road users and the workforce.

The open lanes will be narrower and therefore will have speed restrictions in place.

National Highways will also need to implement additional overnight closures to complete the work during the two-month period.

When full closures are in place, traffic will be instructed to follow signed diversion routes.

The work will remain on this section of road until the end of October 2023.

National Highways Project Manager Cameron Newsham said: “We advise anyone planning to travel in this area to allow more time to get to their destination and plan their journeys to avoid any potential congestion.”

Updates will also be posted to X (Formerly known as Twitter) @HighwaysNWest and Facebook[2] – National Highways: North-West.
