We’ll be carrying out the work on the:

• northbound carriageway between its junctions with the A174 and the A1085. 

The work is scheduled to take place between Monday 19 May and Friday 6 June 2025.

To minimise disruption, we’ll be carrying this work out overnight, when traffic levels are lightest.

This will take place every night, between 8pm and 6am, excluding Friday 23 - Monday 26 May, and Saturday 31 May.

There will be a daytime 50mph speed limit for traffic running on temporary surfaces.

Diversion

Overnight diversions shall be clearly signed. Traffic will be diverted at:

• the Greystones Roundabout via the A174 eastbound
• the A1042 northbound
• and the A1085 Trunk Road.

Please allow more time for your journey if you’re planning to travel during these times.

Work

We’re carrying out essential resurfacing on the A1053 Greystones Road, rearing smoother journeys for motorists in Redcar and Cleveland.

From 22 April, we’ll begin overnight works on the southbound carriageway between the junctions with the A1085 and A174. 

Closures

To carry this out safely, we’ll need to put in place overnight closures on the southbound carriageway.

Closures will run between 8pm and 6am, six nights a week, excluding Saturdays. 

The work is due to be complete on 2 May. 

Diversion

Overnight diversion routes will be clearly signed.

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.

Update - access to A1 northbound

Since the scheme began in November 2024, we’ve:

• Replaced around 4.8km of safety barrier
• Upgraded lighting in the area to LED
• Replaced missing or damaged marker posts
• Removed the disused bus stop structure and layby on the A1 northbound near Skellow footbridge.

Work on the southbound carriageway is now complete. 

The work on the northbound carriageway is due to be complete by 30 April except the section in front of the Skellow garage (ESSO services). This is due to issues with underground services which will need to be removed or diverted before the works can be completed. 

Work is now under way to develop a solution, and we hope to return to complete this work in the near future.

To allow the previous temporary 40mph speed limit to be removed, a barrier has been placed in front of the ESSO service station, and this will remain in place until we return.

The garage site and businesses around Skellow can be accessed as normal, however the side road entry from Leys Lane onto the northbound carriageway of the A1 remains closed due to the siting of the temporary barrier.

A1 Redhouse diversion route map

Access to the A1 northbound will be via the A638 Wakefield Road and junction 38 (Redhouse). 

We apologise for the delay and any further inconvenience caused by our works. We're working to have this completed as soon as we can.

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.

Update - repairs due to be completed in May

Drivers are advised of an ongoing 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 put in place for everyone’s safety due to earlier damage to both the north and southbound parapets. The limits aim to reduce the risk of further damage caused by collisions in the area.

The work was originally scheduled to be completed in March but as it is a bespoke parapet system, it has taken longer to design and source components. The repairs to this complex structure are now planned to begin on 28 April, with the work expected to be complete by 23 May 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 important upgrades to the central barrier on the M18 in South Yorkshire between junctions 5 (North Ings) and 6 (Waterside). 

Some sections of the barrier are now approaching the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. 

This work is expected to continue for around four months in total.

To carry out this work safely, we will need to install narrow lanes on this stretch. This will mean we can keep the same number of lanes open throughout, without reducing capacity.

Closures

To install the traffic management needed, we will need to have full overnight closures as follows:

18 May

Full closure M18 northbound between junctions 4 (West Moor) and 5 for surfacing repairs (9pm-6am)

Diversion

Traffic travelling from the M18 junction 4 to 5 will:

• exit onto the junction 4 northbound slip road.
• Motorists will then be diverted onto the A630, Hatfield Lane,
• before following the A18 Thorne Road northbound.
• Drivers will then take the M180 junction 1 slip road onto the M180 westbound and then onto the M18 junction 5. 

M18 Junction 4 to 5 diversion map

We'll then have the following full closures to install narrow lanes:

19 and 21 May

M18 southbound between junctions 6 and 5 (8pm – 6am)

20 and 22 May

M18 southbound between junction 5 and junction 4 (9pm - 6am)

27 and 29 May

M18 northbound junctions 4 and 5 (9pm – 6am)

28 and 30 May

M18 northbound between junctions 5 and 6 (8pm - 6am)

Diversion

Traffic travelling from the M18 junction 5 to junction 6 will:

• exit onto the M180 junction 1 eastbound before being directed to take the A18 eastbound (High Levels Bank).
• Then follow the A161 northbound before joining the M62 westbound at junction 36.
• At the M62 westbound junction 35 slip road, take the M18 southbound.

Further updates will be shared as they are confirmed.

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

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.

Eastbound overnight closures (8pm – 6am) 

• 24 – 28 February
• 3 and 4 March
• 12 March

Westbound overnight closures (8pm – 6am) 

• 6 and 7 March
• 17 - 21 March
• 24 and 25 March
• 1 April

To allow the concrete to cure, the route will be down to single lane running during the day (6am – 8pm) on these dates:

Eastbound: 

• 24 February - 12 March
• Westbound: 7 – 31 March.

On weekends, the single lane running will be 24/7

Eastbound:

• 1 and 2 March

Westbound:

• 8 and 9 March
• 15 and 16 March
• 22 and 23 March
• 29 and 30 March

We appreciate this is being carried out at the same time as the current A63 South Cave to North Ferriby works.

Diversions

In merging the diversion routes for both schemes, we aim to minimise longer-term disruption to drivers than if we held the two schemes at separate times.

We urge drivers to follow the signposted diversions.
