National Highways has apologised for chaos caused during a closure earlier this month
The M6 will close every night in Lancashire for around four weeks as a £1.7m bridge repair project resumes.
The agency says it used the national pause in roadworks ahead of Monday’s state funeral to review the M6 project and as such decided to cancel three further full weekend carriageway closures. It also apologised to drivers caught up in queues during the first weekend of work.Gary Knowles, Head of Scheme Delivery for National Highways in the North West, said: "We have publicly apologised for the delays experienced by drivers during the first weekend of work.
While there will be some work taking place this weekend, the project will fully resume on Saturday week with the first of around four weeks of nightly, 9pm to 5am, closures of the southbound M6 between junction 33 and junction 32 – with a diversion using the parallel southbound A6 via junction 33 and junction 1 of the M55.
Once the project has resumed next weekend, two lanes will be open to drivers along the southbound carriageway during the day, including at weekends – helping to keep drivers safely on the move and provide a safe space for roadworkers.
