A £2 million, three-month project to resurface sections of the northbound and southbound motorway carriageways around junction 43 and carry out bridge maintenance at the junction – replacing some 40 bridge joints - started on 1 April. The work requires occasional overnight closures of the slip roads at junction 43 with good and clearly-signed motorway diversions in place.
