M1 Lane Closure update
09 March, 2008
Work is being carried out to reduce congestion and improve safety by widening the M1 between Junction 25 at Sandiacre and Junction 28 at Pinxton. To limit any delays to drivers the Highways Agency will be keeping three lanes open in each direction during the day, and will not be using a contra-flow.
The layout of the northbound and southbound carriageway has been changed between Junction 27 and Junction 26 with the introduction of narrow lanes, no hard shoulder and a 24-hour 50mph speed limit for the safety of drivers and roadworkers.
Lane Closures
On Monday, March 10, the northbound exit slip road at Junction 27 will be closed. Signed diversions will be in place.
There will also be the following overnight lane closures between 10pm and 5am: Monday, March 10: Two lanes closed Northbound between Junction 26 and Junction 27.
Tuesday, 11 March: Two lanes closed Northbound between Junction 25 and Junction 26.
