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 delays 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:

• M1, from 9pm April 22nd to 6am May 17th, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane and hard shoulder closure for Boundary fencing works.

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

• 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.

• A1, from 10pm May 7th to 5am May 9th, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A1(M) northbound, junction 1 to junction 3, Lane closure, slip road closures and carriageway closure for maintenance works, diversion via local authority roads.

• M1, from 10pm May 12th to 5am May 13th, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 5 to junction 1, Lane and carriageway closure for Urgent carriageway repairs diversion via Local Authorities network.

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