The current lane closures are scheduled to be lifted in early February this year. These will be followed by further lane closures on the eastbound carriageway until early March 2019.<\/p>
<\/p>
The lane closures are in place as Highways England are replacing the safety barrier at various sites along this section of the M180.<\/p>
<\/p>
Highways England have removed the existing safety barriers, and have erected temporary barriers in place to protect the now exposed structures. Lane closures must remain on a 24-hour basis because it would be unsafe for Highways England to remove the temporary barriers while works continue.<\/p>
<\/p>
These closures are necessary to cover various work locations and enable more activity to take place across the whole site, so as to minimise the programme\u2019s total duration and therefore reduce the overall disruption. Work takes place throughout the day; the overnight closures also allow for the concrete used on the foundations and ends of the new barriers to set.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-21T12:47:01.02Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "M180: Repairs and Maintenance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for how long lane closures will be in place on the M180 east of Scunthorpe; for what reason those lane closures have been introduced; and why work is not being carried out on a 24-hour basis to reduce the length of lane closures.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1200", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Greg Knight"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Yorkshire"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sir Greg Knight"} ], "uin" : "208796"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
