Part of the M180 will be closed in both directions until Monday morning as work continues to repair a bridge across the motorway. It is the latest in a series of closures that have been required over the past few months after the underside of the structure near Outmill was severely damaged in a lorry strike incident last year. The motorway was shut at 8pm on Friday evening (July 26) between junctions 2 and 3 and is expected to reopen by 6am on Monday (July 29).
