Diversions will be in place tonight on the M5 as a section closes from 9pm for essential repair work. Drivers have been warned to plan their journeys and allow extra time to travel.
The stretch of the motorway closing, which is in South Gloucestershire and Gloucesteshire, will be shut off to drivers on Saturday night (July 2) to enable a new footbridge to be installed at Michaelwood Services as part of a £3.2million revamp.
The installation was due to take place under an overnight closure last Saturday but was postponed due to complications with the galvanising process for the steel bridge span. The closure will now be in place between 9pm on Saturday, July 2 and 7am on Sunday, July 3. There will be further work to fit ramps and stairs programmed under overnight southbound and northbound carriageway closures between July 17 and 20.
