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

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

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A1, from 10.30pm April 13th to 5am April 14th, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A1M northbound, junction 1 to junction 3, carriageway closure for carriageway repairs, diversion via local authorities.

• M1, from 9pm April 7th to 6am April 17th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane and hard shoulder closure for Boundary fence repairs.

And a further five closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• M1, from 10pm April 14th to 5.30am April 17th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane closures for Topo survey works.

• M1, from 10pm April 15th to 5am April 16th, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, slip road and carriageway closure for Urgent carriageway repairs, diversion via Local Authorities network.

• A1, from 10pm April 24th to 6am April 26th, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A1 northbound, junction Rowley Lane to junction Bignells corner, Lane and slip road closure for carriageway repairs, diversion via Local Authorities roads.

• A1, from 10pm April 24th to 5am April 25th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Jc t Rowley Lane to junction Bignells corner, Lane closures for inspection works.

• M1, from 10pm April 28th to 6am May 3rd, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 5 to junction 1, Lane, carriageway and slip road closure for surfacing works, diversion via Local Authorities roads.

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