Contingency has been included in the twelve week period to allow for disruption to works due to weather conditions etc. and every effort will be made to complete works in less than twelve weeks.
The closures will affect both carriageways at different periods. For the emergency works, both carriageways will be closed together and for pavement works only one carriageway will be closed at any given time.
For up to date information, notifications will be published on AA Roadwatch and on LMFM Radio.
