The total duration of the roadworks is expected to be six weeks, during which time the motorway mainline, interchange slip roads, roundabouts and side roads may be closed.  It is the intention of Celtic Roads Group (CRG) to minimise the number of and duration of road closures within the above period. 

Contingency has been included in the six-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 six weeks. 

The closures will affect both carriageways at different periods, only one carriageway (Northbound or Southbound) will be closed at any given time. 

For up-to-date information, notifications will be published on AA Roadwatch and on LMFM Radio.
