On the 31 March, we opened the M23 to a 4, all lanes running (ALR) motorway but we continue to undertake important work which consists of installing the important technology on the gantries.

We will continue to implement overnight closures and some daytime working until Autumn 2020 and continue to work closely with our customers, stakeholders and relevant authorities to cause a little disruption as possible.

The speed restrictions will stay in place until such a time that the gantries are fully operational and can give the travelling public indications of any incidents or obstructions along the M23 junction 8 - 10.

We will use the prism hard signage in situ and 24/7 free recovery until this time, and we have CCTV in operation along the entire length of the M23 between junction 8 – 10 to alert our recovery teams of breakdowns and incidents.

Safety is our top priority and once all works have been completed, the national speed limit will be re-instated.

Please note : all works are weather dependant and may be postponed at short notice. Reduced speed limit of 50mph is still in force north & southbound 24/7.

Free recovery service and speed enforcement are in place to ensure drivers and road workers safety.
