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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup 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:

• M1, from 10pm 16th October to 5.30am 24th October, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane closures for drainage works.

• M1, from 9.30pm 29th September to 6am 25th October, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane closures for Boundary Fence repairs.

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

• M1, from 10pm 20th October to 6am 25th October, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 4 to junction London Gateway Services, Lane closures for survey works.

• A1, from 11pm 24th October to 5am 29th October, 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 TFL roads.

• M1, from 10pm 27th October to 5.30am 28th October, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction London Gateway Services to junction 2, Lane closures for Sign works.

• M1, from 10pm 28th October to 5am 29th October, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 2 to junction 1, Lane closures for Urgent inspection works.

• M1, from 9.30pm 29th October to 6am 22nd November, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane closures for Boundary Fence replacement.

• M1, from 10pm 29th October to 5.30am 30th October, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction London Gateway Services to junction 4, Lane closures for 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.
