I am writing to tell you that we need to carry out urgent repairs to technology used to inform the public of incidents on the M1 between junctions 11a (Chalton Interchange) to 13 (Bedford).
To do this work safely, we’ll need to close the M1 northbound overnight on Thursday 5 December between 10pm and 5am, when traffic levels are at their lowest. Each closure will have fully signed diversion routes in place.
Please note these are provisional dates which may be subject to change due to conditions outside of our control, such as adverse weather or road incidents. We’ll update our website accordingly with any changes, which can be accessed at:
www.nationalhighways.co.uk/M1junction10-13
We’ll do all we can to keep disruption to a minimum, but we anticipate delays during peak times, so we’re encouraging drivers to plan ahead and allow extra time when travelling. We’re sorry for the disruption and inconvenience this may cause to your journeys. We’ll publish regular updates on our project webpage and social media.
Drivers are asked to follow the signed diversion routes during these road closures. Please do not use satellite navigation (sat nav) when following the diversion, as they may give conflicting information. Please be considerate of residents living along the diversion routes when using these roads when the M1 is closed. Diversion timings are approximate and are a guide only: please check Traffic England (www.trafficengland.co.uk) for current traffic conditions.
