Sonja Tutty, Data Reporter, on four delays on the M1 and A1

Barnet’s motorists will have four road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.
But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.
The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that four closures are due to start over the next two weeks:
• M1, from 8pm February 7th to 9am February 8th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 3 to junction 2, Lane closures for Resurfacing works.
• M1, from 8pm February 8th to 5am February 10th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 3 to junction 2, Lane closure for Resurfacing works.
• M1, from 10pm February 13th to 5.30am February 14th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 2 to junction 3, Lane closures for Urgent concrete defects.
• A1, from 10pm February 17th to 6am February 22nd, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, junction Bignells corner to junction Rowley Lane, Lane closures for monitoring instillations.
National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
