More M1 roadworks on the way

MOTORISTS on the M1 are in for another week of delays and speed restrictions as the Highways Agency continues its improvement works on a busy South Yorkshire stretch.

Two lanes will be shut southbound from Wednesday to Friday between junctions 28 and 31, while two lanes northbound will be closed from tomorrow to Friday.

This is to allow drainage and barrier works to be carried out.

The southbound exit and entry slip roads at junction 31 will be closed from 8pm on tomorrow until 6am on Wednesday.

Diversion routes will be in place.

Survey works will be carried out between junction 32 (Thurcroft) and junction 33 (Catcliffe) from tomorrow at 8pm to 6am on Wednesday with two lanes closed in both directions.

Ongoing drainage and barrier works will continue 24 hours a day until November 18 between junctions 34 and 35 between with a lane shut northbound and southbound and the hard shoulder open for traffic.

There will be narrow lanes and a 50 mph speed limit between junctions.

A spokesman said: “All our improvement work is carried out with the aim of causing as little disruption as possible.”
