Barnet’s motorists will have four road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And two of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that four closures are due to start this week:

• M1, from 10pm January 9 to 6am January 28, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 3 to junction 2, exit slip road closure for concrete investigations, diversion via National Highways and TFL roads (M1 southbound to junction 1, A406, A41, A1).

• M1, from 10pm January 16 to 5.30am January 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 4 to junction 2, Lane closures for electrical works.

• M1, from 10pm January 16 to 5.30am January 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 2 to junction 4, Lane closures for electrical works.

• A1, from 10pm January 23 to 6am February 11, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 2, entry slip road closure and lane closures for concrete repairs, diversion via TFL roads.

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