A North Lincolnshire motorway will be closed this weekend due to a major construction project.
The M181 will be shut in both directions from 8pm on Friday (October 25) until 6am on Monday (October 28). A diversion will be in place during the closure. When the road reopens, the motorway will be reduced to one lane each way.
The work is part of the southern junction project. Speaking about the multi-million pound scheme when it began in July, Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council. said: “This is a very exciting new development and will mean the bypass for Burringham will move a step closer in reducing congestion, cutting commuting times to and from Scunthorpe and unlock land for new homes.
“The impact of this new infrastructure will be felt by people living in Burringham, as well as drivers using Berkeley Circle and commuters coming from Ashby, Bottesford and Messingham.”
Work on the project is expected to be completed by Spring 2025.
