"This will minimise disruption to the peak traffic flows during the day.

“When lane closures are in place there will be a 50mph speed restriction to protect road users and our workers.

"We advise drivers to anticipate delays and allow extra time for their journeys.”

During full closures, a local signed diversion will be in place using the A6055 which runs parallel to the A1.
