ADVERSE weather has led to changes to planned closures of the M6 in Cumbria.

The closure of lanes one and two of the M6 southbound between junctions 36 and 35, due to take place from today until Friday from 8pm and 6am, has been cancelled because of heavy rain.

Road repairs had been planned to take place and will now be rescheduled.

All three lanes of the M6 southbound between junctions 36 and 35 will be closed next week from Tuesday August 2 until Saturday August 6 from 8pm until 6am every night.
