Bosses give M6 update after roadworks closures see kids 'stuck in cars for 10 hours'
Highways bosses will consider making changes to the 'nightmare' M6 closure which caused chaos for motorists this weekend. Some motorists complained of being stuck for 10 hours after roadworks saw the southbound motorway closed near Lancaster.
A NH spokesman told LancsLive that bosses 'might consider' changing the logistics of the closure, and diversion route, in light of this weekend's scenes. They added that the full closure had been necessary because of the complex repairs and waterproofing being carried out. Tailbacks caused by the closure stretched all the way up to Cumbria as motorists claimed there had been no warning before passing 'the point of no return'. One said on Facebook: "I appreciate the closure was advertised locally but for those of us from other parts of the UK we had no idea.
