Highways England has announced an order for temporary traffic restrictions on the motorway from junction 2 to junction 3 to enable road stud renewal and associated works to be carried out in safety.

The works are expected to start on Monday 27 September 2021 for 12 weeks nights, or until completed, and will take place between 8pm and 6am.

The effect of the order will be to close, at times during the works, the M606:

During the closures, signed alternative routes will be available at all times. It will also be necessary to impose at times during the works a temporary 50mph speed limit on the M606 northbound carriageway from the exit sip road at Junction 2 to its junction with the A6177 Chase Way, a distance of 1,950 metres.

Traffic signs will indicate the extent of the restrictions and prohibitions (which will not apply to emergency services vehicles, traffic officer vehicles or vehicles used in connection with the works or for winter maintenance purposes).
