M1 closures in East Midlands start today

Travellers could be set for disruption with the news that sections of the M1 in the East Midlands will be closed from today.

J23A – J24 of the M1 will be closed to all traffic from Friday 11 May (10pm southbound and midnight northbound) to Sunday 13 May.

The Kegworth Bypass bridge will be launched over the motorway, south of Ashby Road Bridge, as part of a major infrastructure construction development at SEGRO Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway.

There will be a traffic diversion route along the A453 for the entire time.

Drivers are advised to avoid this area if possible and allow for extra time for their journey – in particular if travelling to East Midlands Airport.
