Yorkshire and North East - Maintenance schemes

Work

We’re resurfacing the roundabout and replacing bridge joints at junction 60 of the A1(M) (Bradbury). 

Closures

We’ll be carrying out this work overnight in phases, starting on 10 March. All closures will be in place between 8pm and 6am the following morning.

South bridge 10 - 13 March (four nights)

In the first phase, we’ll begin resurfacing the bridge deck on the south side of the roundabout. This will mean a closure on the A689 westbound between Sands Hall roundabout and the Eden Arms roundabout. The eastbound lane will be open to traffic.

Access will still be in place for residents, businesses and the service station at Bradbury and along the A689 in this area. 

The A1(M) southbound entry and exit slips, and the northbound exit slip, will also be closed.

North bridge 14 – 20 March (excluding Saturday and Sunday) (five nights)

The second phase will take place on the north bridge.

This will mean an eastbound closure on the A689 eastbound between the Eden Arms roundabout and Sands Hall roundabout. The westbound lane in this section will be open. The route will stay open on the Saturday and Sunday night (8 and 9 March). 

The eastbound closure will be manned to allow access only for residents and access to Gypsy Lane, along the A689. The A1M southbound exit, and northbound entry and exit slip roads, are also closed. 

21 March

There will be a further overnight closure on the south bridge deck on the night of 21 March to replace a bridge joint. The A689 westbound will be closed from Sands Hall roundabout to the Eden Arms roundabout. This will allow a joint on this bridge to be replaced.

The junction 60 northbound exit slip will be closed, along with the southbound exit and entry slips.

A 50mph speed limit will be in place on single lanes remaining open during overnight work.

All closures are scheduled to take place between 8pm and 6am the following morning. 

The work is subject to being rescheduled in poor weather conditions. 

We will have signage out around this interchange to advertise the closures.

Diversions

Fully signed diversions will be in place. Where the exit and entry slips are closed, drivers will be diverted via the A1M to the following junction, before being diverted back to junction 60 to continue their junction.

Work

National Highways is trialling a new kind of sound barrier on the A1 southbound between Seaton Burn and North Brunton. This is an innovative barrier which aims to reduce traffic noise for residents of areas where a standard noise barrier is not possible. 

We’ll begin preparation for the new barrier including minor vegetation clearance, foundation and barrier improvements from Monday 10 March. 

The sound barrier will be installed in front of Cranwell Drive and Blanchland Avenue, and residents of these areas should notice lower noise levels in future.

All overnight closures are scheduled for between 8pm and 6am the following morning.

Closures and diversions

This will mean a night-time lane 1 closure, with a 24-hour 40mph speed limit for around five weeks.

There will be a full overnight closure of the A1 southbound between Seaton Burn and North Brunton on Tuesday 18 March. The preparation works are due to complete before Easter. 

Works will re-commence from Tuesday 22 April, for 10 nights, when the barrier will be installed. This will include five overnight full closures on the A1 southbound between Seaton Burn and North Brunton.

The barrier and all associated work is expected to be complete by 4 May. Fully signed diversions will be in place. 

Once the barrier has been installed, we hope residents notice lower noise levels.

After installation, noise monitoring teams will be in the area to assess how effectively the barrier reduces noise.

Neither National Highways nor our contractors will ask you to let them into your property. You don’t need to let anyone into your home who claims to be from National Highways or a contractor working on the noise barrier scheme. Anyone who asks is doing so without our knowledge or permission. 

For further information, please contact National Highways Customer Contact Centre on 0300 123 5000 open 24/7, or email: info@nationalhighways.co.uk.

Work

We need to undertake some ground investigations on the embankments next to the southbound carriageway of the A1 near Morpeth. 

This is needed because soil has been moving and we need to understand why this is happening and take steps to stabilise the area.

To do this work we first need to remove trees that have been affected by Ash dieback and clear any other vegetation.

Closure

For safety reasons we’ll need to close the southbound carriageway overnight (8pm to 6am) with diversions in place.

Diversion

Traffic will exit the A1 southbound at Northgate interchange and travel via:

•  A197
•  A189 and A19

Local residents of Clifton, Glororum and surrounding areas can take a local diversion north on the A197 into Morpeth, and then pick up the A192 Shields Road to return south to Stannington Interchange.

Work

From Monday 13 January, we’ll begin installing new LED lighting at junction 44 of the A1(M) (Bramham). This new lighting will be more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

So we can carry this out safely, we need to put in place some weeknight closures on the roundabout and link roads. 

Closures

The work will be carried out in three phases.

13 – 22 January:

• Outer ring road (left hand lanes) of the A1M / A64 roundabout, along with link roads. Only one link road will be closed at a time while work is carried out. 

22 – 23 January:

• A64 westbound link road to Bramham Interchange. 

24 January:

• Bramham Interchange inner ring road (right hand lanes). 

All closures are due in place between 8pm and 6am. The road will remain open on Saturday and Sunday nights. 

Diversions

For the majority of the main link road closures, drivers will be diverted to alternative junctions along the A1(M). 

Where link roads to local villages are closed, traffic will be directed as follows: 

• Diversion route for closure of northbound link road from Main Street 

• Diversion route for closure of southbound link road onto Main Street
• Diversion route for closure of southbound link road from Paradise Way 

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

We're improving safety barriers in the central reservation and alongside the northbound carriageway. We're also

• upgrading lighting in the area to LED
• replacing missing or damaged marker posts
• removing the disused bus stop structure and layby on the A1 northbound near Skellow footbridge. 

We began work on Monday 4 November and expect to finish by April 2025. 

We'll need some full and lane closures in place in both directions between the A1 (M) junctions 38 (A638 Redhouse) and A1 junction 39 (A639 Barnsdale Bar).

We'll work in phases. We won't close both carriageways at the same time. To minimise disruption, we'll mainly work overnight. 

We'll use narrow lanes to keep two lanes open in both directions during the day.

For drivers' safety while we're replacing the barrier, a 40mph speed limit will be in place. 

January closures

To install narrow lanes, we've planned overnight full closures (from 8pm until 6am the following morning) for the New Year.

Please note these have been updated from previously published times:

• 11 January - southbound
• 12 January - northbound
• 13 January - northbound
• 14 January - southbound

We’ll begin making important safety upgrades to villages in South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Tameside from 17 February.

Using collision data and consulting with residents along the A57, A616 and A628, National Highways will put in place new village gateway signage.

The new signs will clearly highlight to drivers when they are entering and exiting each village as they make their way along these routes. 

As well as encouraging consistency in speed limits within villages along these routes, the scheme aims to:

• Highlight to drivers the speed limits for the road, improving safety for all road users and residents
• Provide better access for public transport, pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders
• Enhance the environment

In addition to the new gateway signage, we will be installing vehicle activated signage reminding motorists to reduce their speed in key areas and improving road markings.

The improvements will be made in:

• Mottram-in-Longdendale
• Hollingworth
• Tintwistle
• Langsett
• Midhopestones
• Crowden

We will be carrying out the improvements under temporary traffic lights and a small number of full closures during night-time working. 

The work is expected to be complete by early April.

We will be working to install the new village gateway signage overnight (8pm – 6am), under temporary traffic lights. 

The work will take place on the A57, A628 and A616 between A57 Mottram in Longdendale in the west and A616 Langsett in the east. We will begin work on 17 February, and will be progressing, one village at a time during the scheme period. 

Full closures are currently planned for early March, with advance notice of closure dates signposted along the route. We will share further updates and closures as soon as they are confirmed.

Please allow more time for your journey if you are planning to travel in the areas where work is due to be carried out.

More information is available at https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/yorkshire-and-north-east/. 

Further updates will be shared on our X feed, @HighwaysYORKS and our Highways: Yorkshire Facebook page.

To work safely, we'll use weeknight closures on east and westbound carriageways (between 8pm and 6am).

To start, we'll be working from July to August 2024, though we'll continue until Spring 2025.

We'll alternate east and westbound closures. To minimise disruption, we won't fully close  the road in both directions at the same time.

During July, we'll use a 40mph speed limit on this section of the road, with average speed cameras.

We'll put signed diversions in place.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England site. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

We’re carrying out important improvements on the A64 at Tadcaster. We’ll be installing new safety barriers, clearing excess vegetation and conducting ground surveys. 

The improvements will be carried out overnight on the A64 between the junctions with Headley Bar and Little Catterton Lane.

To do this work safely, we will need to close the A64 in this section. Closures will only be in one direction at a time. We’ll begin on the westbound carriageway before moving to the eastbound.

The closures will be every weeknight between 17 February and 30 March 2025. Closures will run from Monday – Friday, each night between 8pm and 6am.

Westbound closures will take place from 17 February to 7 March and eastbound from 10 to 30 March.

Diversions

Drivers will be diverted from the A64 eastbound at Headley Bar via the A659 through Tadcaster, before rejoining the A64 near Little Catterton Lane; or vice versa for westbound traffic. 

When the A64 eastbound carriageway is closed, there will also be a closure on the slip road from the A162 joining the A64 eastbound.

We understand this may lead to increased traffic on the A659 overnight, and apologise for any inconvenience or disruption caused. We aim to have this work completed as soon as possible.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England website. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

We need to upgrade the drainage on the A64 Staxton Roundabout. This is to help prevent standing water and improve safety. 

To do this safely, we will need to install temporary traffic lights to control traffic on Staxton Roundabout during construction of the new drainage system.

The construction will be carried out in two phases, weather permitting.

Phase 1

Work will start on 8pm Friday 7 February 2025 and will continue until 6am on 10 February 2025.

Phase 2

Work will be carried out in night shifts (8pm-6am) on weeknights, from Monday 10 February 2025 to 15 March 2025.

Drivers are advised to allow more time to travel while this work takes place.

Some of this work will be unavoidably noisy. We will do everything we can to minimise disruption but would like to apologise in advance for any disturbance caused by this much needed work.

From Monday 13 January, we'll begin to upgrade street lighting on the A64 near the junction with Scarborough Road. This improved lighting will reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions as well as reduce the need for future maintenance. 

To carry this out safely, we will need to put in place overnight closures (8pm – 6am) on four slip roads at the junction. There will also be a lane 1 closure on the A64 in each direction between the junctions with the B1257 and B1248 (Scarborough Road). 

The closures will take place on weeknights, between 13 and 21 January. The road will remain open on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 January. 

During night-time closures, fully signed diversions are in place (links below). Traffic heading into Malton from the A64 will be diverted via the B1257, Old Malton Road, Castlegate, Church Street and Scarborough Road.

Drivers are advised of a 50mph speed limit on the M1 in South Yorkshire. This speed limit is in place on the north and southbound carriageways at Tinsley Viaduct, near junction 34.

The limits have been implemented for everyone’s safety due to damage to three parapets on the viaduct, and aim to reduce the risk of further damage caused by collisions in the area. The parapets are expected to be fixed by the end of March 2025.

In the meantime, we thank everyone for their patience while we carry out these repairs.

We need to replace the wire rope central barrier with a concrete one, to improve safety for drivers.

Concrete barriers are even stronger than metal ones. They significantly reduce the risk of vehicles crossing over from one carriageway to another

The scheme has been split into 2 sections and will take around 16 months to complete.

The first section, between junctions 46 and 47 will start in March and is expected to last around 7 months.

The second section, between junctions 43 and 45, which also includes upgrading the LED lighting, will start in August and is expected to take 9 months.

Traffic management

To work safely we need to close 1 lane on the north and southbound carriageways.

We'll also reduce the speed limit to 50mph as we remove sections of the barrier.

Traffic management will start between junctions 46 and 47 with the first phase.

As work continues, we'll extend the traffic management to include junctions 43 to 45.

This allows us to reduce the overall duration of the work and maintain safety.

Please allow more time for your journey. We expect significant delays during the evening peak as people leave the Leeds area.

Work

We’re carrying out specialist repairs and maintenance on the concrete surface on the M180 in North Lincolnshire. The work will be carried out near junction 2 (Woodhouse Interchange) on the westbound carriageway. 

The scheme will begin on Tuesday 21 January and is scheduled to finish on 11 February. 

The programme of work will include concrete bay replacement, crack repairs and thin bond repairs on the existing concrete carriageway on the westbound carriageway. 

In addition, we’ll carry out a bridge joint repair on the westbound carriageway on the bridge over the River Trent as well as resurface the route in this area. 

The scheme will extend the life of the concrete surface and keep the carriageway safe and serviceable for the travelling public. It will also ensure the continued safety of road users on the bridge over the River Trent. 

Closures

To allow us to complete this work safely, we will need to have westbound road closures between junctions 3 (Midmoor) and 1 (Tudworth). 

Closures will begin on Tuesday 21 January. These will be full overnight closures (8pm - 6am), and single lane running during the daytime to allow the concrete to cure.

Closures will be in place seven days a week until 6am on Saturday 8 February. 

Diversions

• M180 westbound traffic will be diverted via the M180 at junction 3 to join the M181 northbound
• Motorists will be directed to the A18 westbound before re-joining the M180 at junction 1
• When the M180 junction 2 westbound entry slip is closed, local traffic will be diverted to use the A161 and A18 westbound before re-joining the M180 at junction 1

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

Work

The existing road surface and markings are worn and don't correctly match the signs.

The surface and lining will be reinstated to ensure that it is clear to drivers using the slip road which lane they need to be in. 

We'll also install new technology along with signage indicating a new road layout ahead.

Closure

Overnight closures (8pm to 6am) Mondays to Friday nights from 3 March - 15 March.

M606 Southbound exit slip leading up to the M62 J26 Interchange (Chain Bar roundabout A58) and eastbound link road will be closed.

Work

We’re carrying out concrete bay replacement and repairs to the existing concrete carriageway in both directions near junction 38 of the M62 (North Cave). 

The scheme will extend the life of the concrete surface and keep it safe and serviceable for the travelling public. 

Closures

To keep drivers and the workforce safe, overnight closures will take place between junction 37 (Howden) and the A63 South Cave. 

We'll  begin on the eastbound carriageway, working between 24 February and 12 March.

We will move to the westbound carriageway between 6 March and 1 April.
