Narrow lanes and a 50mph limit are in place on both sides of the road, enforced by average speed cameras.

Overnight, when traffic flows are at their lowest, two lanes each way will be closed. Occasional carriageway closures will also be required, which will be published in this bulletin.The restrictions should be lifted by the end of October, with work then carrying on underneath the motorway.
