M6: Northbound carriageway closed in Warwickshire
- Published
Traffic cameras show the northbound stretch is closed to traffic
A stretch of the M6 in the West Midlands is likely to remain closed throughout the day after a gantry sign came loose in strong winds.
Severe delays are expected due to the closure between junctions two and four northbound near Coleshill in Warwickshire, said Highways England.
Specialist teams are working at the site to make the area safe, it added.
Drivers have been urged to find alternative routes.
The carriageway was initially closed on Sunday evening after the sign became loose above the motorway between junction 3A (M42 interchange) and four.
The closure has been extended to allow for a better diversion route, travel information service Inrix said.
Traffic was being diverted via the A46 southbound and the A45 westbound south of Coventry causing congestion on local roads.
