Nature of the Works
The ongoing construction involves essential maintenance tasks such as cutting, collecting, and removing grass along the motorway. Additionally, workers are tasked with clearing away useless objects from the hard shoulder and embankments, including at junctions. This upkeep is vital for ensuring the safety and functionality of the motorway.
Impact on Motorists
Due to the construction, part of the hard shoulder will be closed in sections, contributing to the congestion that drivers are currently facing. The authorities advise motorists to plan their travel accordingly, allowing for extra time to navigate the affected areas.
Advice for Road Users
Drivers are encouraged to remain patient and adhere to any traffic management measures in place. Observing speed limits and following signs will help ensure safety for both motorists and workers on site. Traffic updates will continue to be provided to keep the public informed of the situation.
