Barnet road closures: three for motorists to avoid this week

Barnet's motorists will have three road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing a holdup of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• M1, from 10.30pm August 14 to 5am August 15, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1, entry slip road closure for CAT 1 safety fence repairs, diversion via TFL roads.

And a further two closures will begin over the next seven days:

• M1, from 10pm August 15 to 5am August 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 2 to junction 1, Lane one closure for maintenance works.

• M1, from 10pm August 16 to 5.30am August 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 5 to junction 3, Lane closure for drainage works.

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