A303 from sparkford to podimore from 8pm till 5am starts on the 02/12 for 5 weeks .
I came down the M6 last night and from Lancaster to Sandbach every matrix was telling of a different road closure, M6, A50, A55, A556, M69, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
The A50 closure was Meir tunnel near Stoke and was literally an up and over diversion, up the slip road at the tunnel entrance, over the roundabout and rejoin the other side!
Guys, please spend a few minutes and send your complaints to * ha_info@highways.gsi.gov.uk * (email address) From our regions point of view, it’s only going to get worse for at least the next 3/4 years as they start on the next set of motorway “upgrades”
If you don’t tell them, they’ll continue thinking there’s nothing wrong.
Junction 8-10 eastbound m27 closed tonight 10-6 i think diversion via a27 incase any ones making there way to portsmouth or beyond.
hoping to get on the M1 and head north at J.21 Leicester at 3am tomorrow morning…anyone know if it will be open? wasn’t last weekend

that was due to laying tarmac on the m69 and also fosse pk, tonight I know they are working on the island at groby a46 a50 again so that will be shut I would think, the j21 n/b was open on tue night when we were working at fosse pk

thanks moose
Thats my biggest nightmare at the moment. I’ve never known a period like this for night closures. Has anyone noticed also that they don’t seem to go for lane closures anymore? They seem to want to shut down the whole section. I suppose that’s more to do with safety of the operatives (when they’re not swiggin tea out of sight somewhere). It’s bad enough for us local lads, but when you see how many lay-by’s are closed at the same time and nowhere for the trampers to park up, it does take the bickies.
i see they are back to their usual uselessness again… m42 south last night for a tip near coleshill then up the m6 for a collection - no mention whatsoever of the m6 being shut J5-6 and the long delays as a result of it on any of the matrix boards down the 42. :roll:
i’ve no doubt the resident wombles will advise me to email them on their usual address for a response but i am still waiting for a response “within 24 hours” to the email complaint sent to them on 27 november…

Useless indeed.
