14 August, 2007
Transport Minister, Ruth Kelly, has given the final go ahead for works to proceed and details of the contractor are due to be published.
A spokesman for the Highways Agency said: The Minister has given a decision to proceed with the widening of the M1 between J25 and J28.
“Work on this section is expected to start in Late October 2007.”
Contract 1 runs from Junction 25 to Junction 28 and will see the conversion of the hard shoulder into a running lane to create four lanes and add a new hard shoulder wherever possible.
The works in Contract 1 have been designed to provide early congestion relief to approximately 23km of motorway between Sandiacre (Junction 25) and Pinxton (Junction 28).
