During this period, motorists can expect some disruption, with traffic congestion most likely during morning and afternoon peak hours.

Alternative routes advised

The JRA urges all road users to remain mindful of the maintenance activity, reduce speed where necessary and exercise patience while travelling through the affected section. Those who are able to do so are encouraged to make use of alternative routes to avoid delays.

Motorists travelling south on the M1 may leave the motorway at the Atholl Oaklands off-ramp, which is situated before the Glenhove section, and rejoin the highway at the 11th Avenue on-ramp after the works area.
