Located on the National Highways Strategic Road Network, this closure is part of the organisation's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the UK's major highways. As the highway authority responsible for this stretch of road, National Highways is urging drivers to plan their journeys carefully and allow extra time to complete their travels.

The closure is expected to have a significant impact on traffic in the area, with drivers advised to seek alternative routes to avoid congestion. Motorists are encouraged to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on road conditions and plan their journeys accordingly.

National Highways is working to complete the necessary work as quickly as possible, but drivers should still expect some disruption during the closure period.

National Highways' Transport Data Feeds are being used to power the organisation's efforts to keep drivers informed about the closure and any other disruptions on the network. This technology provides real-time information on traffic conditions, allowing drivers to make informed decisions about their journeys. Drivers can use this information to plan their routes, avoid congested areas, and reduce their journey times. With the closure set to be in place for several hours, it is essential that drivers take steps to prepare and plan their journeys carefully.

In addition to checking traffic apps and websites, drivers can also tune into local radio stations for updates on the closure and any other traffic disruptions in the area. By staying informed, drivers can help to ensure a smooth and safe journey, even in the face of road closures and other disruptions. National Highways is committed to completing the necessary work as quickly as possible, while also minimising the impact on drivers and the local community.
