The Heysham Link scheme began in January 2014 and is expected to be completed in October.
As part of the development, the northbound M6 slip road out of Lancaster will be closed for 10 days from 22 July until 01 August as part of work to develop the new Bay Gateway slip road. The route will link Heysham with junction 34 of the M6.

By 01 August, all four new or improved slip roads will be open to drivers, making it easier and safer to join or leave the motorway.
Highways England project manager Paul Elliott said: "Although Heysham Link is a county council project along the local road network, its connection to the M6 is delivering significant improvements at junction 34 of the motorway with better entry and exit slip roads.
"The closure of the existing northbound entry slip road to complete these improvements is part of that."
Features of the overall £124m project includes closing the existing access south of the River Lune and providing a safer, longer slip road north of the river which will be reached by the new river bridge and a new roundabout at Shefferlands connected to the start of the new dual carriageway to Heysham.
