M5 near Bristol to be shut for two nights

THE M5 motorway near Bristol is to be closed for two nights while a new footbridge is installed.
It will be closed southbound from junction 17 to 15 and northbound from junction 17 to 16 on Monday and Tuesday nights from 10pm to 6am.
The new Pegwell Brake footbridge, just south of Junction 16, will be a steel pedestrian bridge suitable for high-sided vehicles to pass under when the managed motorway is fully operational and the hard shoulder is used as a traffic lane.
The footbridge is planned to open towards the end of January.
Highways Agency senior project manager Paul Unwin said: "Installing the new footbridge is a complex engineering process and the only way that we can do this safely and quickly is by fully closing the motorway in both directions.
"To minimise disruption for anyone planning to use the M5 during the closure, we have scheduled the works to avoid peak traffic times and events such as the Christmas school holiday.
"We have also been working closely with local stakeholders to ensure they are aware of the diversion routes in place during the closures.
"We strongly advise that people plan ahead, leaving plenty of time for their journeys and to drive safely via the diversion routes which will be clearly sign posted."
