·The Guardian·Impact 1/5 · Low

Motorway closures can be frustrating for drivers, but the impact on the economy is more significant than just a minor inconvenience.

This, in turn, can affect the overall performance of the economy, particularly in industries that rely heavily on logistics and transportation.
