Road closures: four for Luton drivers over the next fortnight including the M1

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

And two of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

A1081, from 10pm October 2 2023 to 5am March 30 2024, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 both directions, junction 10 to junction 13 - exit and entry slip road closures, lane closures and diversion routes for drainage on behalf of National Highways.

A1081, from 10pm November 13 2023 to 5am September 30 2025, 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.

And a further two closures will begin over the next two weeks:

M1, from 10pm February 23 to 5am February 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound,, junction 12 to junction 13 - carriageway closure for barrier/fence safety repairs on behalf of National Highways.

M1, from 10pm February 26 to 5am February 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 10 - lane closure for electrical works 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.
