During the closures there will be signed diversions in place via the A59, A5085 and A6 at the following locations:

– M6 Junction 31A northbound exit slip road, and

There is also a 50mph speed restriction in force along sections of the M6 and M55 throughout the project.

Delays of 10 minutes are expected between Junctions 31 and 33 northbound for the duration of the roadworks.
