Motorists are also encouraged to check for any further updates before embarking on their journeys, as the situation may change.

Those who must travel through the area during the closure are advised to leave extra time for their journeys and to expect potential delays. It is also recommended that drivers check for any roadworks or other disruptions along their planned route before setting off. Regularly checking traffic updates can help drivers stay informed and make informed decisions about their journeys.

National Highways has been working to minimize the impact of the closure and has put in place measures to manage traffic flow and reduce congestion. However, with a high severity disruption expected, drivers are urged to exercise caution and plan their journeys carefully.

Those planning to travel through the area overnight can also consider using public transport or delaying their journeys until the closure is lifted. However, for those who must travel, being aware of the potential disruption and taking steps to plan ahead can help minimize the impact of the closure.
