The M6 between 32 and 33 Northbound will be closed for 8 weeks due to bridge repair works.

The closure will be from 8pm until 6am for the months of September (starting today 3 September) through to the end of October.

During the day only ONE lane will be open so anybody travelling North up to 8pm can expect long delays and after 8pm drivers will have to exit the M6 and use the A6 via Garstang to gain access to the M6 North bound at Lancaster Junction 33.

Just driven past heading south. It's one lane SHUT, not one open. Nevertheless big queues so will risk A6 coming back.

Only quoting what it said in the press release, a copy of which is attached to my initial post.

However two lanes open is better than 2 lanes closed.

Apologies Neil, I wasn't trying to blame you, merely providing updated info for fellow SVs. I totally agree you can't be held responsible for other people's (possible) mistakes. It may be that at times it will be only one lane open, just clarifying the situation as I passed. With hindsight I probably shouldn't have used capitals.

No apology necessary.....better to inform what is going on than saying nothing.

What a nightmare. Was thinking of Gillingham away but this might make it a bit too much of a mission
