Explained in plain English
What is a carriageway?
Motorways like the M3 are designed with separate carriageways for traffic travelling in opposite directions. This helps manage traffic flow and improve safety. In this story, the eastbound carriageway is affected, meaning vehicles heading towards the M25 are experiencing delays due to the lane closures.
