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 wait 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:

• A1, from 10pm on 1st August to 5am on 2nd August, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 5, Slip and carriageway closure for Parapet replacement works diversion via Local Authorities.

• M1, from 10pm on 5th August to 5am on 6th August, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 4 to junction London Gateway, Lane closure for technology replacement works.

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