Mansfield and Ashfield drivers warned to expect ‘slight delays’ with M1 lane closures in coming days

However, motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list shows two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

M1 northbound, Junction 27, at Annesley, to Junction 32, at Morthern: Abnormal load travelling from Hucknall to Doncaster. Until February 12, at 11.59pm;

M1 northbound and southbound, Junction 29, at Doe Lea, to Junction 30, at Barlborough: Slip road and lane closures with diversion routes due to electrical work. Until June 1, at 6am.

A further six closures are scheduled to begin over the next seven days:

M1 northbound, Junction 28, at South Normanton, to Tibshelf Services: Lane closure due to maintenance works. From February 3, at 8pm, to February 4, at 6am;

M1 northbound and southbound, Junction 26, at Nuthall, to J28: Mobile hard shoulder closure due to maintenance works. From February 5, at 8am, to February 6, at 5pm;

M1 southbound, J29a-J29: Lane closure due to maintenance works. From February 5, at 8pm, to February 7, at 6am;

M1 northbound and southbound, J26-J28: Mobile hard shoulder closure due to maintenance works. From February 10, at 8pm, to February 12, at 6am.

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