MOTORISTS who use the M6 are being warned about upcoming road closures while bridge repairs are carried out.
A bridge which carries the M6 over Westfield Brook, between junction 32 of the motorway at Broughton and junction 33 at Galgate, is being repaired in a £50,000, 2 week project starting on Sunday 20 November.
Full closures of both the northbound and southbound carriageways between junction 32 and junction 33 will take place between 8pm and 6am on nights at the start and end of the scheme as traffic management is installed and removed.
The northbound carriageway will be closed overnight on Sunday (20 November) and again on Friday 2 December.
The southbound carriageway will be closed overnight on Monday (21 November) and again on Saturday 3 December.
Diversions will operate via the M55 at Broughton and A6.
Lane 3 closures along both northbound and southbound carriageways will be needed at times.
Highways England project manager Mark Mosley said: “The work includes improving the bridge deck waterproofing and other measures to extend the life of this important structure. Work has been planned to minimise disruption to drivers’ journeys.”
