The work, which involves resurfacing the motorway, installing new road markings and repairing drainage between junctions 17 and 16, will start on Friday 16 June. It is expected to complete around August.

To carry out the work safely, there will be overnight lane closures and the entry slip roads will be closed at junctions 17 and 16. The A1(M) will also be closed southbound between the two junctions between 9pm and 7am. During the day there will be a 50mph speed limit in place, with lanes narrowed where we are working.
