First, every single entrance to the contraflow side of the highway must be closed off. |
The entire eastbound side of the road was shut today, with a contraflow in place on the westbound side. |
The problems have been caused by traffic funnelling down into a contraflow involving just one lane in each direction. |
A contraflow was put in place while the road was blocked, and traffic built up for around two miles in either direction. |
The contraflow will be switched to the westbound carriageway in late January as resurfacing starts on eastbound lanes. |
A contraflow system was put in place to allow the Yorkshire Air Ambulance to land. |
