AVERAGE speed cameras and a contraflow system will be put in place on the M6 as part of a £2 million resurfacing scheme.

All three lanes and the hard shoulder of the southbound carriageway around Killington Lake services - between junction 37 and junction 36 - will be resurfaced.

The scheme is part of a wider £3.6 million package of work along two miles of the carriageway with drainage improvements and a new central reservation barrier already completed last summer.

The latest phase will start on Monday for about eight weeks. A contraflow system and average speed cameras will start on July 15 for four weeks.

The contraflow system will allow two lanes of the southbound carriageway to remain open during the day with a single lane open between 10pm and 6am. A 50mph speed limit will be in place.

The entry slip road at junction 37 and access to the southbound services will also be closed between 10pm and 6am during the four weeks.
