The exit slip road at junction seven will be shut for barrier work from 6am until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday. The work, which is weather permitting, is due to finish on Sunday, September 20.

Clearly-signed diversions will be in place for drivers to follow.

Strict safeguarding measures will be in place on site to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and will be closely monitored to keep the workforce and road users safe.
