At the time, we installed a temporary solution to keep the bridge in good order until we could schedule the work, which is a long job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">We\u2019ve designed a programme that keeps disruption to a minimum, using lane closures. We\u2019re only going to need full night closures to install the traffic management.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Narrow lanes and a reduced speed limit will be in place throughout the works for safety of drivers and those working on the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>In order to install the narrow lanes, night closures will be in place on the M6 between junctions 21a and 23: northbound on 9 October 2016, and southbound on 10 October between the hours of 8pm and 5am, subject to traffic flows.<\/p>\n<p>Additional closures will be required in December\/January at the end of the project to remove the narrow lanes.<br \/>\nLocalised signed diversion routes will be in place.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"general-enquiries\">General enquiries<\/h3>\n<p>Members of the public should contact the Highways England customer contact centre on 0300 123 5000.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"media-enquiries\">Media enquiries<\/h3>\n<p>Journalists should contact the Highways England press office on 0844 693 1448 and use the menu to speak to the most appropriate press officer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Essential bridge maintenance starts on 3 October to replace 40 corroded bearings on the M6 junction 22 bridges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74631"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74631\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
