NATIONAL Highways will be renewing road markings and road studs on the M50 to provide a safer carriageway for road users.

This work will be carried out in two phases: Phase One – Working westbound overnight on August, 6, 7and 8 between 9pm and 6am. The whole stretch between M5 junction 8 to M50 junction 1 will be closed.

Phase Two – Working overnight from August 9 to 19 on weekdays Monday to Friday between 9pm and 6am. Full westbound closure from M50 junction 2 to A449 Travellers Rest roundabout.

During closures, fully signed diversion routes will be installed.

Every effort will be made to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. The aim is to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.
