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

And they are all are expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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

• M1, from 10pm November 13 to 6am November 18, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 5 to junction 1, carriageway closure for testing works, diversion via Local Authorities roads.

• M1, from 10pm November 13 to 5.30am November 17, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 2 slip road, slip road closure for OOH works, diversion via National Highways roads.

• A1, from 10pm November 20 to 5.30am November 21, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 2, entry slip road closure for concrete repairs, 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.
