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 moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup 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 10pm March 26th to 5.30am March 28th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction London Gateway to junction 4, Lane closures for CCTV Upgrade works.

• M1, from 10pm April 2nd to 5am April 3rd, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A406 northbound, link road to M1 northbound, junction 1, carriageway and slip road closure for urgent loop repairs, diversion via National Highways roads.

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