Looks like there will be ongoing delays for anyone on the M1 between Toddington and Brogborough.

There’s a damaged pipe which engineers plan to fix “as soon as possible” – but that’s probably of little relief to drivers as lane three is closed between junction 12 and 13 northbound.

According to the National Highways website, it should be fixed by next Monday – March 9.

A National Highways spokesperson told Luton Today: "We are working hard to resolve this issue on the M1. Engineers suspect that the cause is a damaged drainage pipe.

"Work will be carried out as soon as possible. In the meantime, we thank motorists for their patience.”
