The first phase targets the westbound side until June 19th, then switches to eastbound until July 10th (possibly extending to July 17th). Expect detours via the A46 and M1, as crews upgrade drainage, road markings, and studs for a smoother, safer ride — a necessary short-term inconvenience for long-term road health.
