What it means for motorways in the north west
No more smart motorways will be built amid safety and cost concerns - but Lancashire motorists will still be affected by the existing rollout.
The move is seen as a victory for campaigners who raised concerns over road deaths on motorways with no hard shoulder. Calls are now being made for the reinstatement of hard shoulders in affected areas.Some have also raised frustration at the delays and disruption caused by the works which have involved major constructions projects. While no new builds are now due to be started, work will continue on two existing projects in the North West which are already more than three quarters complete.
In its most recent update for the M6 stretch, National Highways said: "We’ll be finishing off the initial work on gantries between junction 23 and 26 soon. Following this, we’ll then be moving into the area between junction 22 and 23 . Working in this way means we can also carry out carriageway repairs at the same time, minimising disruption for motorists by reducing the number of closures needed.
