National Highways will be carrying out repairs to the A1M from 5th June that will impact on local roads PLEASE BE AWARE.

Published: 27 May 2026

The A1(M) southbound will be fully closed overnight (8pm-6am) on each of these nights between junctions 48 and 46.

AND during the day, there will be lane closures in place on this section.

This work is weather-dependent. If work is not completed between 5-7 June overnight closures on the weekend of 19-21 June as well as daytime lane closures may take place.

From 8 June – early July: for the following four weeks, the A1(M) southbound will be closed every weeknight (Monday-Friday, 8pm-6am) between junctions 48 and 46.

Litter picking during these overnight closures will also take place to reduce the need for future closures for maintenance on this section.
