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 one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A1, from 10.30pm September 1st to 5am October 1st, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, junction M25 to junction Borehamwood, Lane closure for Urgent TFL structural maintenance.

And one more closure will begin over the next two weeks:

• A1, from 10pm September 9th to 6am September 14th, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 5, Carriagway cand slip road closuefor resurfacing, 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.
