National Highways is replacing the existing streetlamps with more energy efficient LED lighting and the work will take place under lane or carriageway closures.

The first phase of the work starts this evening between junction 3 and 4 and will take two nights, with the eastbound slip road at junction 3 to also be shut.

From Wednesday evening, the eastbound carriageway will be closed overnight from Junction 4 at Rothwell to junction five for two nights, with the slip-road also shut .
