They will affect a six mile stretch of the road between Bromfield and Craven Arms.

It will involve the closure of the northbound carriageway between 8pm and 6am and will continue until June 1.

Traffic travelling south will not be affected.

The work to resurface the road is being undertaken by the Highways Agency and diversions using minor roads will be signposted.
