Drivers on the M5 confronted lengthy delays on Thursday as heavy snow introduced by the raging Storm Goretti battered the realm. Motorists confronted the partial closure of the M5 northbound between junctions J4 and J3 on the night of January 8 because of the climate. National Highways stated two out of three lanes had been closed as of 8.50pm.
In an replace issued after 9pm, the organisation stated that: “We have traffic officers, snow ploughs, winter salting and heavy recovery units.” The organisation stated there have been as much as 60 minutes of delays within the space. Traffic cameras captured shortly earlier than 9pm appeared to indicate lorries sliding on the motorway. This comes as a number of climate warnings have been issued by the Met Office forward of the arrival to Britain of the storm, which is now battering the nation with heavy snow, winds and rain.
