DRIVERS are being warned that the M5 southbound between Junctions 23 and 24 will be closed from 8pm today (Wednesday, August 23) until 6am tomorrow.

The closure is to enable emergency resurfacing work to three lanes of the Huntworth Viaduct carriageway.

Diversion routes will be signed from J23, via the A39 and A38, to rejoin the M5 at junction 24.
