Highways England contractors will resurface 3 miles of the carriageway between the A179 at Sheraton to the A181 at Wellfield.

Work will start on Sunday 4 October and will take place between 8pm and 6am until Saturday 24 October.

Highways England project manager Kyle Maylard said:

Work to resurface the carriageway will be undertaken at night to keep disruption for motorists to a minimum. Once complete, it will provide drivers with a smoother and safer journey.

Clearly signed diversions will be in place via the A179 and A1086.
