Members of the public are advised to find alternative travel routes until further notice.

If you are stuck in traffic due to a road closure, please take steps to stay safe in the heat:

Stay Cool

Turn on air conditioning if available, or open windows to allow airflow when safe.
Avoid sitting in direct sunlight – use sunshades or cover windows if possible.
If the engine is off, ventilate the car safely to prevent overheating.
Keep Hydrated

Drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, or sugary drinks as they can worsen dehydration.
Protect Vulnerable People

Take extra care with children, older people, pregnant women, and those with long‑term health conditions.
Never leave anyone (or pets) alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
