‘Severe delays’ of over an hour on M1

Travel to and from the East Midlands towards and from London could be hit by severe delays, says Highways England.

Two lane are closed in both directions on the M1 in Buckinghamshire, between J14 (Milton Keynes, A509) and J15 (Northampton, A45). Northbound there is a broken down HGV awaiting recovery, and southbound there are emergency repairs being carried out to the carriageway.

A statement from Highways England said: “We are working to get both of these resolved, however at present there are delays of more than one hour in both directions.

“Traffic between Birmingham/the Midlands and London is advised to use the M40 if at all possible to avoid these delays.”
