Canklow traffic delays warning

EMERGENCY repairs to a large pothole at the junction 33 roundabout on the M1 at Canklow are set to continue to cause delays.

Drivers were held up for hours on Monday and Tuesday as staff from Rotherham Borough Council and the Highways Department tried to tackle the problem.

But work is being hampered by the bad weather.

A council spokeswoman said: “It is a large pothole, actually on the roundabout, which was too large to leave so we had to cordon it off and try to do repairs.

“We are sorry for the inconvenience and ask motorists to bear with us because freezing temperatures are not helping our efforts to get it repaired quickly.”
