M6 congestion and delays due to grass cutting between Preston and Lancaster
Highways England is carrying out essential maintenance, including cutting grass verges, on the M6 between junction 32 (Preston North A6, Blackpool, Fleetwood M55) and junction 33 (Lancaster South, A6) today (September 9).
Highways have closed lane 3 in both directions on a stretch of carriageway shortly after junction 32, reducing the M6 to just two lanes to allow maintenance teams to operate in the central reservation.
