Work to replace and repair sections of the current drain east of Stainmore Cafe is expected to be completed in early June.

A 40mph speed limit will be in place past the road works with any work – often requiring single lane closures – taking place between 9.30am and 3.00pm in the day and between 8pm and 6am overnight.

The work will reduce incidents of carriageway flooding.
