Nightwork and good neighbour practices
Maintenance on the M7 Motorway is generally conducted at night, for safety reasons, and when traffic volumes are lower. This is to keep traffic flowing during peak travel hours and reduce any impact on the travelling public, as much as possible. Work is also carried out on weekdays during standard work hours, 7am to 5pm. Some of our maintenance activity during the day or night may generate short-term noise or temporary changes to traffic. Westlink M7 takes all reasonable measures to reduce the impact of our works and scheduled maintenance activity.
