M5 junction 28 to 31

Reported via mobile in the Roadworks (NH) category anonymously at 16:28, Fri 30 December 2022

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4069779.

Hi Due to a lane closed on m5 jun 30 to 31 with no sign of any work started over the Christmas period the traffic has been queued to jun 28 ? Causing unnecessary pollution to the surrounding area with car / lorries stationary , spent fuel in a time when money is tight and wasted hours by travellers Obviously this could have been avoided with common sense and starting works when needed ? merry Christmas (not) to all involved in this

Updates

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways concerning the lane closure.

    A defect has been identified on the Exe Viaduct which is not clearly visible to the motorway users. The repairs need a specialist team and parts which will be available in January.

    In the meantime, the relaxed traffic management that was initially installed for the inspection has been upgraded and supplementary signs warning of traffic queues have also been erected.

    If you require any further information please contact our Customer Contact Centre on 0300 123 5000 or info@nationalhighways.co.uk.

    Kind regards

    National Highways
