As a result of the work, there will be some lane closures, which will be taking place overnight on weeknights, 8pm to 5am. 

Information about lane closures, as well as progress on the camera installation, can be found on the National Highways website. 

Cameras are also being implemented in three other North West locations that have seen a high number of casualties and deaths due to collisions and speeding.
