Drivers in and around Barnet will have two National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M1, from 11pm September 8 to 5.30am September 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 3 to junction 2, Lane closure for boundary fence repairs.

• M1, from 10pm September 14 to 5am September 20, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 4, carriageway and slip road closure, diversion via TFL roads.

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