Closures have been in place on the A194(M) since Thursday, April 7, and are not due to be removed until 6am on Saturday, May 7.

Lane closures have been put in place on the southbound stretch between the Havanna junction and the road’s meeting with the A1M at junction 65 while communications works are carried out.

The closures are expected to create moderate delays of anything between 10 and 30 minutes.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so its list of works does not include closures of smaller roads across the city.
