| The following summary of planned new and ongoing road improvements over the coming week is correct as of Friday 29 March but could be subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. All our improvement work is carried out with the aim of causing as little disruption as possible. Drivers looking for roadworks information (such as overnight carriageway closures) for individual schemes should now visit www.trafficengland.com. Some of our larger schemes have project pages giving other information. These can now be accessed from a dedicated regional page: https://highwaysengland.co.uk/regions/north-west
M6 Junction 36 A seven week resurfacing project is taking place along the southbound carriageway between Sillfield and junction 36 and started on Monday (25 March). The work involves single lane closures (daytime), single lane running (overnight) and occasional overnight closures of the southbound exit slip road at junction 36. No work will take place during the Easter holiday period.
M62 Junctions 10 to 12 Work is taking place to upgrade the M62 to a smart motorway between Warrington and Eccles, converting the hard shoulder to an extra lane and introducing new variable speed limits. Narrow lanes and a temporary 50mph speed limit are in place for the safety of drivers and workers. The scheme is due to be completed by spring 2020.
A66 Stoneybeck We’re replacing the damaged parapet at Stoneybeck Bridge. Work includes replacement of the adjoining safety fence and began on Saturday (23 March). Temporary traffic lights will be in place around the clock.
A66 Crosthwaite A contraflow roadworks layout, where one lane is moved onto the opposite carriageway with a temporary barrier in between traffic, will be introduced on the A66 at Crosthwaite roundabout for water main work. The utility company scheme is due to be completed by mid-April. |
