GLOUCESTERSHIRE drivers’ journeys on the M5 southbound will be improved after resurfacing work costing £1.9 million starts next week.
The work, between Junctions 13 and 14 southbound, will start on the night of Tuesday, February 3 between 8pm and 6am the next day.
The resurfacing will take place along approximately a three and a half mile stretch of the motorway and will require various lane closures.
Project sponsor Dave Frampton said: “This work will ensure this section of the M5 remains safe and reliable for drivers for many years to come.
“In addition to the surfacing we will be taking the opportunity to carry out drainage maintenance on the hard shoulder.
“Every effort has been made to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum by scheduling the works at night and we are not expecting any delays for road users.”
To ensure the safety of both the travelling public and our workforce, lane closures overnight will be necessary and some daytime lane closures may also be needed when the old surfacing has been removed.
The resurfacing work will be completed by the end of March.
