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

And three of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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

• A1, from 10pm February 24th to 6am March 1st, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, junction Bignells corner to junction Rowley Lane, Lane closures for monitoring instillation works.

• M1, from 10pm February 24th to 5am February 27th, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 4 to junction 1, Lane closure, slip road closures and carriageway closures for maintenance works, diversion via National Highways roads.

• M1, from 10pm February 27th to 5am February 28th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 4 to junction 2, Lane closures for Urgent carriageway repairs.

• M1, from 9pm February 28th to 5.30am March 20th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane closures for Boundary fencing works.

• A1, from 10pm March 5th to 5am March 8th, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 4, Lane closures, slip road closures and carriageway closure for maintenance works, diversion via Local Authorities.

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