Luton drivers told to expect delays on M1 over next two weeks

Drivers in and around Luton will have six National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week on the A1081. This closure will be in place until 5am on September 30 2025. It will cause moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 14 to junction 10 - carriageway closures, lane closures, narrow lanes and speed restriction for construction improvement/upgrade on behalf of National Highways.

A further five closures will begin over the next two weeks:

M1, from 10pm January 2 to 5am January 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 12 to 13 - lane closure for communications on behalf of National Highways | M1, from 10pm January 4 to 5am January 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound,, junction 10 to junction 9 - lane closures for communications on behalf of National Highways | M1, from 10pm January 8 to 5am January 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 11 to junction 10 - lane closure for communications on behalf of National Highways | M1, from 10pm January 9 to 5am January 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 11A to junction 11 - hard shoulder closure and exit slip road lane closure due to communications works on behalf of Ringway | M1, from 10pm January 15 to 5am January 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 11 to 10 - lane closure for communications on behalf of National Highways.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
