News on M23 J8-10 smart motorway
Back to newsSMP M23 Smart Motorway Works Information
No planned closures on SMP M23 Smart Motorway week commencing 27 May 2019 Due to half termWe thought you may like to know a little of the works that have been carried out on the Smart Motorway, especially the 36 hour closure last weekend. Planning out the road depth to 300 ml and re-instate the road using low friction noise resurfacing
CCTV camera installation • Barrier installation on the new dedicated lane into Gatwick • Work on the new Hybrid wall on the Spur road • Roundabout traffic signal renewal and installation • Installation of comms ducting for CCTV camerasJunction 8 - Gantry PlacementHours of preparation and planning meant that the M23 closed overnight to install the 500T crane and then ‘sling’ the gantry into place.
The new gantry spans the full width of the M23 at over 54 metres in length and weighing in at 100T. Gantries are completely fabricated off site, and “fitted” out with cladding, flooring, and electrical wiring / components to as near complete as possible (where transport restrictions allow); this minimises the work done on site, safety critical working at height, and disruption to the travelling public. The Gantry made its very slow procession from Nottingham accompanied by 2 escort vehicles.
