The road was closed in August but then reopened and temporary traffic lights were installed. 

However, a full road closure has now been put back in place. 

A 26-mile diversion route is in place while the road is closed, which is expected to add on about an hour to people's journeys. 

Although those living locally may know quicker routes, the diversion road is long as it includes A-roads for bigger vehicles.
