Safety inspections and strengthening works may also need to be carried out under lane closures. We are asking the travelling public to be aware of these works and to follow the road signs.
The majority of works are being carried out during off-peak hours to minimise disruption. Some activities may take place overnight between 20:00 - 06:00.
Nosier activities will be done during the day or early evening to lessen disruption wherever possible.
Please see below for the diversion during overnight closures.
