Barnet’s motorists will have four road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And three of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing holdups of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• 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.

• A1, from 10pm March 10th to 5.30am March 12th, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A1 northbound, junction Rowley Lane to junction Bignells corner, Lane and slip road closure for carriageway repairs, diversion via National Highways.

• A1, from 10pm March 10th to 6am March 15th, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 5, carriageway closure for Resurfacing works, diversion via Local Authorities.

• M1, from 10pm March 17th to 5am March 18th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 4, Lane closure for FWD/GPR survey works.

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