Major A-road used by thousands of drivers a year to close for 21 days from TODAY – will your commute be spared?
Major repairs will see the route closed for three weeks ROAD BLOCK Major A-road used by thousands of drivers a year to close for 21 days from TODAY – will your commute be spared? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR A-road is set to close for for three weeks from today. Roadworks on the A6 are due to begin today, June 23, with the route remaining closed to traffic for 21 days while essential work is carried out. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Works will see the road surface ripped up and replaced Credit: Alamy 3 Motorists are urged to plan accordingly Credit: Alamy Motorists have been urged to check their routes and plan accordingly. The roadworks will be carried out across two phases with different sections of the road closed for each. Phase one, on the stretch of the A6 from Green House to Ullsmoor, will start today, June 23. Phase two on the stretch between Bampton junction and the north end of the 40mph signs will follow on after completion of phase one. Road closures will last for the duration of both phases but only the section of road being worked on will be closed. Rolling closures will hit several sections of the road as works get underway with some parts of the busy A-road remaining open. The extensive works will see the existing road surface removed completely. This will then be replaced with new surface course and binder courses. Repairs are also set to be carried out on the highway drainage system. Locals have been issued with letters detailing the road closure plan and warning them of delays. Drivers warned of travel chaos this Bank Holiday amid M20 closures Motorists planning to use the route over the next three weeks have been urged to plan ahead. Contactors have said that access for emergency vehicles and pedestrians will be maintained throughout the duration of the roadworks. Bus companies and recycling collection services have been informed so that they can make other arrangements. Diversions will be put in place during the closures with motorists directed along the M6. Separate diversions have been put in place for non-motorway vehicles. The works are reportedly part of Westmorland and Furness Council's £37.7 million highways and transport investment programme. The programme is aimed at improving infrastructure and tackling potholes in the local area. Schools have been notified of the closure with school bus operators warned to plan ahead. Measures are being taken to ensure locals will have access to their homes while the works are underway. Residents have been instructed to contact the contractors about local access.

Gaming: can you have too many sim racing wheels?
Opinion Nowadays sim racing rims are separate from the wheel base, which means they're becoming more complex, and desirable Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading My name is Mike and I'm an addict. The things I'm addicted to are usually round in shape and produce a feeling of euphoria, but they're not drugs. Tragically, I'm talking about sim racing steering wheels. It's not really my fault. Back in the early days of sim racing equipment, the wheel rim remained resolutely attached to the base and was usually generic in design. Then in 1999 a company by the name of Thrustmaster, which I'll confess sounds like the alias of an adult movie performer, released a licensed Ferrari 360 Modena steering wheel. Proper automotive manufacturers had got involved in sim equipment and all bets were off. Advertisement - Page continues below These days, the rim and the wheel base are separate, hot swappable via motorsport grade quick release systems, and the effect on my bank balance has been, frankly, catastrophic. Depending on the type of pretend racing car I happen to be driving at any given time, I'll have a variety of rims to suit the job, whether that's a wide circumference circular wheel for rallying or a miniscule batarang festooned with buttons for formula cars. I have a McLaren wheel for driving McLarens and a Porsche wheel for driving Porsches. The other thing I have, clearly, is a problem. It's only getting worse as products become more complex, authentic and ultimately more desirable. Fanatec made arguably the biggest step five years ago with its Podium Steering Wheel BMW M4 GT3. That name is burying the lede slightly, the important part is 'BMW M4 GT3' because it is the exact same wheel, and therefore directly compatible, with the one found in an actual BMW M4 GT3 racecar. As a gamer, getting one feels like buying the first issue of one of those overpriced build it yourself magazine subscriptions. You might like More recently, Fanatec has pulled a similar trick with its Podium Steering Wheel Bentley GT3, this time adding a circular, self-centring display in the middle of the wheel and including rotaries that are 'knurled', a word I'm convinced was invented solely to sound expensive. The only thing missing is a hand stitched, diamond quilted Bentley branded bib to catch the drool every time I look at it. These more authentic wheel rims are only multiplying, with a small cottage industry springing up. Relative newcomer VPG Sim has secured the licence to produce a replica of the new Ford Mustang GT3 steering wheel, constructed from the same materials and moulds as the real thing. Is it excessive for me to have a different rim for every different GT3 car on the grid? It feels excessive. Advertisement - Page continues below I think the biggest test of my resolve, though, comes in the shape of the £8,000 Cosworth CCW Mk2 Pro Sim Wheel, which is built by Cosworth itself and is an exact replica of a wheel I've spent years staring at in the cockpit of various Indycars and sports cars in iRacing. Look, I swear I could quit any time I want but, just out of interest, what's the going rate for a human kidney on the black market? Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.
