Safety upgrade to M6 studs and markings

Road users will benefit from safer driving conditions as a result of forthcoming road marking and stud renewal works on the north and southbound carriageways of the M6 from junction 1 to Catthorpe junction at Junction 19 of the M1.

Work is due to start on Monday and last all week. All work will take place overnight from 10pm and 5am to minimise disruption for road users.

During the works, the southbound carriageway of the M6 between junction 1 and Junction 19 of the M1 will be closed overnight from 11 March to 13 March and the northbound carriageway will be closed from 14 March to 18 March. Diversion routes will be clearly signposted.

Mark Braithwaite, Highways Agency project manager, said:  "This work is important to maintain the carriageway in a good condition.

"The work has been carefully planned to keep disruption to a minimum, and so is being carried out overnight, when traffic flows are lowest. We do advise drivers however to check conditions and leave extra time for their journeys if necessary."
