Essential repair work at M11 junction continue

Drivers in Cambridgeshire are being advised that work to repair the embankment and carriageway on the southbound M11 at the Girton interchange will continue until early November.

Further work, which is needed to complete the essential embankment, drainage, hard shoulder and main carriageway repairs, will take place mainly during the daytime with some night time closures when required.

Lane 1 on the southbound M11 will continue to be closed 24/7 during the work and a temporary 50mph speed limit will also be in place past the works for safety reasons.

The M11 southbound will be closed overnight at junction 14 on Tuesday 3 October from 8pm to 6am to install protective barriers for the safety of the Highways England team which is working hard to complete the work as quickly as possible. A clearly signed diversion will be in place during the closure via the A14 Histon junction (junction 31).

Drivers using the junction should check the latest traffic conditions before setting out and allow extra time if needed, especially if they are travelling at peak times during the week, when roads in the area are likely to be busier than usual.

A 140-metre section of lane 1 just south of the M11 junction with the A14 at Cambridge was closed on Friday 22 September while Highways England teams investigated the defect and started carrying out the repair work.

The repairs are necessary due to a defect in the embankment and road surface that required a closure of the hard shoulder initially, which was later extended to lane 1 of the motorway as a precautionary measure.

For the latest information up to date traffic information, drivers should stay tuned to local radio, or follow Highways England in Twitter @HighwaysEAST.
