Ashfield road closures: three for motorists to avoid this week

Ashfield's motorists will have three road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing a holdup of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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

• M1, from 8pm February 27 to 6am March 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound and southbound, junction 26 to junction 28, Lane closures due to maintenance works.

• A38, from 8pm January 3 to 6am July 31, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M1 northbound and southbound, junction 29, slip road closures due to structure maintenance, diversion via National Highways and local authority network.

And one more closure will begin over the next seven days:

• M1, from 8pm March 14 to 6am March 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 26 to junction 27, Lane closure due to works on behalf of Camway Installations.

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