A1 closed in Nottinghamshire after collision

The A1 in Nottinghamshire is closed northbound between the A57 (Worksop) and A620 (Retford) junctions due to a traffic collision and diesel spillage.

Nottinghamshire Police are on scene, and teams from Highways England will also attend.

Traffic is being diverted via the ‘Solid Circle’ symbol:

– At the A57 (Apleyhead) junction take the second exit onto the A57

– Continue for 13 miles, to the junction with M1 J31

– At the junction, take the third exit onto the M1 northbound

– Continue for 1 mile to the M18 interchange (J32)

– Bear left onto the M18 (signed Hull, Doncaster, Rotherham)

– Continue on the M18 for just under 9 miles, to J2 (A1M)

– At the roundabout, take the first exit to rejoin the A1M northbound at J35

A statement from Highways England said: “This diversion will add around 30 minutes to normal travel time, in addition to any delays on approach to the closure, so please allow additional journey time.”
