Delays on M5 near Exeter due to emergency repairs

Work on the Exe viaduct means one lane will be closed on the M5
Drivers heading southbound on the M5 near Exeter on Friday have been warned to expect delays due to a lane closure.
The closure - lane one of three - is in place on the southbound motorway between junctions 30 and 31.
National Highways said the lane closure was required for emergency repair work to be carried out on the Exe viaduct, which carries the M5 over the river Exe.
The lane closure is expected to be in place until Saturday morning.
National Highways said Friday was expected to be busy due to traffic heading into Devon and Cornwall for Christmas, so drivers are advised to plan ahead and leave extra time.
