Work on the northbound carriageway will be completed in the first two weeks before switching to the southbound side.

An additional weekend closure from November 27-30 is planned in case further time is required to finish the work. However, this will be cancelled if work is completed ahead of this weekend.
The work includes bridge joint repairs, resurfacing and relaying waterproofing material.
