Emergency services rushed to the scene after a diesel spill from a recovered HGV shut down the carriageway. Fire and Rescue teams have cleared the spill, but the road will need overnight resurfacing, keeping the closure in place.
Road Closure & Resurfacing
The carriageway has been inspected and found damaged. Repairs will happen overnight, so the road stays shut to get the job done.
Expect Delays & Follow Detours
Traffic is being diverted via the feeder road from Junction 6 to Junction 5. Look out for the hollow square symbol guiding the way. Drivers should brace for delays approaching the closure and extra travel time on alternative routes.
