The road closures including on the M1 that Bassetlaw motorists should avoid this week

• A1, from 8pm May 6 to 6am May 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Tuxford to Apleyhead, slip road, lay by and lane closures closures due to maintenance works, diversion via National Highways network.

• A1, from 8pm March 24 to 6am May 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Upper Morton to Blyth, Lane closures due to maintenance work.

And a further four closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A1, from 11.30pm May 14 to 7.30am May 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Apleyhead to Markham Moor, diversion route due to works on behalf of Network Rail.

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