And a further two closures will begin over the next two weeks:

  • A1(M), from 8pm August 12 to 6am August 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1M northbound and southbound, junction 60 to junction 61, lane closure for Vehicle safety fence repair.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
