Heads up — the sixes are in for a tough month this March

We wanted to give you an early heads up: March is going to be a challenging month for the sixes.

Across the sixes network, we’re facing:

  • 19 sets of roadworks
  • 5 full road closures

With this much happening at the same time, it’s safe to say the sixes will be up against it throughout March, and there will no doubt be long delays at points during the month.

Here is a list of all the sets of roadworks and road closures that we are aware of:
