Motorway sliproads closed overnight

MOTORWAY sliproads linking the M1 with Luton and Dunstable are to close to allow work on the carriageway to open up the hard shoulder as an additional lane.

The northbound exit sliproad at Junction 11 will be closed overnight tonight, with the southbound exit closed overnight from tomorrow until Saturday.

Drivers are also warned that contraflow systems are in operation on the M1 between junctions 12 and 13 and north of Junction 11. The traffic systems are in place for the work on the Hard Shoulder Running scheme to reduce congestion and improve safety on the 15 mile stretch of the M1 in Bedfordshire. Motorists are advised to allow extra time for their journeys while the road works are taking place.
