This week will see the completion of a major scheme by the Highways Agency to address flooding on the M5 near Bristol.
In recent years, regular flooding has created issues for motorists on a three-mile section of the M5 at Falfield due to drainage deterioration.
Following a 6 month programme of works, narrow lanes are being removed on both northbound and southbound carriageways, signalling the completion of the flooding scheme.
Dave Frampton, project manager for Highways England, said:
"This section of the M5 near Falfield suffered from flooding to both the hard shoulder and lane one during periods of heavy rain."
"The pipework has now been upgraded, which will improve flood resilience and in turn the safety of road users on this stretch of our network."
To facilitate the removal of the narrow lanes and resurfacing work, both southbound and northbound carriageways have faced full overnight closures from 8pm to 6am this week.
