A critical section of Caton Road (A683) will unavoidably have to close to allow major reconstruction and resurfacing to take place.
On the weekend of Friday 16th to Monday 19th January 2015, Costain, the contractors appointed to build the Heysham to M6 Link Road, will need to close off the section of Caton Road directly under the M6 motorway bridge for resurfacing works as part of the scheme.
Following liaison with the county council’s highways team, Stagecoach, and the Police, engineers will close the road between the M6 sliproads north and south, located either side of the M6. Although diversion signs will be erected, its important drivers familiarise themselves with alternative routes, and plan ahead.
The road will close from 8.00pm on Friday 16th until 6.00am on Monday 19th January 2015. Engineers will work round the clock to completely re-construct the road surface which is long overdue.
Motorway traffic will be diverted to the next junction depending on the direction drivers wish to travel on the M6. For example; southbound traffic from Lancaster will need to go north to junction 35 and then turnaround, likewise northbound traffic from Caton will also need to head in the opposite direction initially before re-joining the M6 at junction 33. Northbound traffic from Lancaster and southbound traffic from Caton should use the sliproads as normal.
Non-motorway traffic such as tractors, scooters, and learner drivers must use Low Road and Halton Road from the Crook O’Lune. Lancaster traffic bound for Caton will need to use the A6, Halton Road and Low Road.
