Motorway to be shut for weekend work on junction

Motorists are being warned that the M181 in North Lincolnshire will be closed in both directions later.

It will be shut, with diversions in place, from 20:00 GMT on Friday until 06:00 GMT on Monday.

When it reopens, the motorway will be reduced to one lane in each direction.

North Lincolnshire Council said the closure was to allow work to continue on the new Burringham Road southern roundabout junction, which it said would ease congestion.

The junction should reduce journey times for Burringham residents and those using the Berkeley Circle, the council has said previously.
