Resurfacing work to start on M18

Work starts today on resurfacing work on the M18 in South Yorkshire.

National Highways is resurfacing the M18 northbound carriageway between junction 3 (St Catherine’s) and junction 4 (West Moor).

Engineers are also replacing road markings, studs and marker posts. It is hoped that the work will be completed by mid-November.

National Highways project manager Sujad Hussain said: “It’s essential we carry out this work before winter arrives.

“To minimise disruption on the M18, we’re carrying out the work during overnight closures.”

While work takes place, the northbound carriageway will be closed between junction 3 and junction 4 from Monday to Friday between 9pm and 6am.

Hussain added:  “We are mindful that this work may cause delay and disruption. We’ve worked to minimise the impact on customers as much as we can. However, where possible, customers should plan for longer journeys or choose another route if one is available.

“We apologise in advance to customers who may be affected and thank you for your patience while this essential work is completed.”
