MORE than 20 lorry loads of road surface will be taken off the M6 in Cumbria and recycled during major maintenance work which began on Sunday and will continue during this month.
The resurfacing and reconstruction work on the M6 at Killington will be carried out throughout October, and will use low noise materials to create an improved and safer carriageway.
Around 470 tonnes of road material will be removed and taken to a specially prepared recycling site. It will then be regraded and remixed before being brought back to the motorway for re-use.
The northbound carriageway between Killington Lake Services and Junction 37 will be closed to allow the work to be carried out. Northbound traffic will be diverted through a contraflow on the southbound carriageway. The lane restrictions will be in force for five weeks until November 7.
