Trial On Knowsley Section Of M62

A section of the M62 in Knowsley will be de-illuminated for a 12 month period. The trial, which began on Friday 8 March, concerns the lanes between junctions 5 and 6 of the motorway.

The slip road onto and off the two junctions and the gantry signage will remain lit. Renewed road markings, reflective studs and improved signage have been installed ahead of the trial.

The impact of the trial will be assessed through analysis of energy efficiencies, financial savings and survey data over the 12 month period of the trial.
