“We will also be maintaining the drainage along sections to provide drivers with safe and reliable journeys by reducing the likelihood of surface water.
“We have planned the work to be carried out overnight, when we know traffic flows are lowest, and in phases to minimise the disruption.”
The first two weeks of the work will be carried out overnight, between 8pm and 6am, in various phases.
