Drivers have been warned of 30-minute delays on parts of the M6 as a major roadworks scheme begins. Large sections of the southbound carriageway are being resurfaced in the 13-night project starting on Monday, March 14.
It comes as National Highways carries out a £1.5m wear and tear repairs project.

The work is set to add more than 30 minutes onto journeys, with motorists advised to consider alternative routes or different dates for travel.
National Highways project manager Frank Jamieson said: “Ordinarily, we’d be looking at 16 overnight carriageway closures to deliver resurfacing in this part of the M6 but by pulling in extra resources from elsewhere we’re reducing that by almost half to only nine. “The section of the motorway south of junction 34 has particular challenges because we don’t always have the space to resurface and keep a lane open to drivers so we will need to use the long-standing diversion route through Lancaster.” The programme of work includes two nights of resurfacing and overnight carriageway closures between junction 35 at Carnforth and junction 34 at Lancaster and seven nights of resurfacing and associated carriageway closures between junction 34 and junction 33 at Galgate.
