Closed
Large amount of traffic cones abandoned Lane 1
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4902660.
Lane 1 has been shut off for months, why? I drive past those road works twice a day, 5 days a week, 51 weeks a year. I have yet to see a single worker or change to the carriageway since the cones went up!
If your going to shut the lane indefinitely, please remove the 50mph restrictions. I can't be for safety, nobody is working there and there are still 3 full sized and usable lanes!
Updates
-
A lane closure on this section of the M3 was implemented so we could investigate and temporarily repair lane 1 road surface depressions that were identified following routine inspections, and were considered potentially safety critical.
These initial investigations have confirmed road depressions and associated voiding in lane 1 but required more detailed ground radar surveys to establish if any further voiding existed. The current lane 1 closure is required to protect the safety of the travelling public and also to permit specialist surveys and investigations to be undertaken to allow a repair scheme to be developed and constructed.
We are unable to provide an update of the timeframe for when the lane 1 can be safely re-opened until the survey works have been completed and a repair scheme progressed.
We apologise for any inconvenience that this delay may cause.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
