M5 J12 Gloucester – overnight work

Work to ease congestion on a busy junction on the M5 near Gloucester starts on 6th September.

The 14 week scheme is being carried out by the Highways Agency to reduce congestion at junction 12 of the M5. All works will take place overnight between 8pm and 6am.

The project will increase capacity by adding lanes to the busiest parts of the junction – including new dedicated lanes, north and southbound, between the M5 and Gloucester. This will improve the flows of motorway traffic.

Other work taking place includes the installation of traffic signals which will help to balance the flow between traffic exiting the motorway and other traffic using the roundabout.

Work will start on 6th September and continue each night for 14 weeks.

M5 J19 Portishead – overnight work

The Highways Agency will start overnight work on 6 September to resurface the roundabout and renew the traffic signals at M5 J19. The work will also include renewing barriers and white lining and replacing high friction surfaces on the approaches to signals.

The work is programmed to be carried out overnight between 8pm and 5am each night and is due to be completed by 3 December.

While the work is being carried out there will be lane closures and 50 mph speed restrictions on the slip roads and 20 mph on the roundabout. There will be some overnight slip road closures and diversions.

M5 J22-21 (Weston-super-Mare to Burnham) – northbound resurfacing

A four-mile section of the M5 northbound between junctions 22 and 21 is to be resurfaced to improve safety for road users.

At the same time, the safety barrier will be replaced, drains will be repaired, and the Sedgemoor Service Area exit slip road will be resurfaced.

The work will start on Monday, 6 September and is due to be completed by Friday, 8 October. It will take place overnight, between 7pm and 7am each night, when traffic flows are lower.

There will be lane closures and 50 mph speed restrictions while the work is carried out, and some overnight slip road closures and diversions will be necessary.

M5 J31 overnight closure

Maintenance on the M5 at Junction 31 is due to commence on 6th September and is expected to take 1 night.

To complete the work safely we need to close approximately 600m of the southbound carriageway at junction 31 from 20:00 to 02:00. During the closure traffic will be diverted as follows:

Exit the M5 at junction 31 and travel along the A30. At the roundabout joining the A377, turn around and travel back along the A30 to join the southbound A38.

We also need to close the junction 31 southbound exit slip road link to the A30 from 02:00 to 06:00. During the closure traffic will be diverted as follows:

Remain on the A38 and then exit at Kennford, to return northbound on the A38. Continue to junction 31 and exit to join the A30.

These closures will run consecutively on the night of the 6th September 2010.

NEW SCHEME

M6 (North Lancashire)

M6 Forton Services Northbound, Lancaster (cabling) overnight closure of the entry and exit slip roads at the northbound Forton Services  between 21.00 and 05.00 from Sunday 12th September until Saturday 18th September for cutting cross-carriageway ducts to take cables.

ONGOING SCHEME

A585

A585 Poulton-le-Fylde (water main works) – one lane closed southbound at the junction of the A585 and Garstang Road East for water mains maintenance. Work continues until 3rd October.

The Highways Agency is advising drivers that the next phase of roundabout widening works will begin at Junction 34 of the M1 next week. Work will take place from Monday 6 September to divert a water main which runs across the roundabout.

This work is the second phase of a scheme to widen the roundabout. The scheme will increase the capacity on the roundabout and reduce congestion at the junction. The Agency has already completed work to upgrade the traffic lights at the roundabout and the main work to widen the roundabout will begin in 2011.

Work to divert the water main will last for 14 weeks. At times during the works it will be necessary to close sections of the inner lane of the roundabout in order to allow works traffic safe access to the centre of the roundabout. To minimise the disruption for drivers, closures will take place between 10am and 3pm hours, Monday to Friday only.

Highways Agency project manager Steve Wright said: “Once complete the widened roundabout will smooth traffic flow and reduce congestion at the junction. There will only be slight delays to traffic during the water main diversion as the majority of work will take place within the roundabout and any lane restrictions will take place at off peak periods. We ask drivers to take care when traveling through the road works.”

Work to improve safety by replacing the central reservation barrier on the M18 near Doncaster, South Yorkshire will begin on Monday 6 September.

The Highways Agency scheme involves replacing the steel central reservation barrier with a safer, concrete barrier and improving drainage on an 8.8 mile (14.35km) stretch of the motorway between Junction 2 and Waterton Bridge (north of Junction 4). Work will be completed by the end of March 2011.

In order to minimise disruption to road users, two lanes of traffic will be maintained during the day, with the motorway being reduced to one lane in each direction overnight whilst the works in the central reservation are carried out.  The work will be carried out in phases, with the first – between Warning Tongue Lane bridge (north of Junction 3) and Junction 4 – starting on 6 September and completing in November.

During the work, a 50mph speed limit will be in place to ensure the safety of road users and workers. The traffic management, including the reduced speed limit, will remain in place 24 hours a day.

The second phase of the scheme, between Junction 3 and Warning Tongue Lane bridge, will start in mid-October and last for 12 weeks. Work between Junction 4 and Waterton Bridge will start in mid-November and last for 11 weeks, with the final phase – between Junction 2 (Wadworth Interchange) and Junction 3 – starting in early January for eight weeks. More details about the exact dates will be confirmed nearer the time.

Highways Agency project manager, Andrew Jennings, said: “This barrier replacement scheme will increase safety on the M18 in South Yorkshire. The new barriers are stronger and more robust – reducing the risk of vehicles involved in accidents crossing from one side of the motorway to the other, and improving the safety of road users and road workers. The barriers also require less maintenance and repairs and hence will reduce the likelihood of future disruption to the road user. Drivers are advised to approach these roadworks with care and allow extra time for their journeys.”
