Barnet road closures: two for motorists to avoid this week

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

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that both of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

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 March 19 to 5.30am March 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane closures for defect works.

And one more closure will begin over the next seven days:

• M1, from 10pm March 20 to 5.30am March 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane closures for communication works.

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