Peterborough stretch of A1 set for 50mph speed limit over summer
Carriageway resurfacing works are set to slow traffic using Peterborough’s main north/south trunk road.
Motorists using the northbound carriageway of the A1 to the north west of Peterborough will soon be forced to comply with a new speed limit of 50 miles per hour.
The restrictions – which will be applied 24 hours daily – will be in place from the exit slip road at the A1/A47 Wansford Interchange to the entry slip road at Wothorpe.
This will also include:
• Exit and entry slip roads at A1/A47 Wansford Interchange,
• Exit slip road at Racecourse Road, Easton on the Hill,
• Exit and entry slip roads at Carpenters Lodge Junction, and
• Entry slip road at Wothorpe.
All lay-bys adjacent to the A1 northbound carriageway described above will also be closed 24/7 for the duration of the works.
The carriageway resurfacing works are scheduled to begin on Monday, August 3 and are expected to last for approximately six months.
