National Highways Notice on A1 Overnight Closures from early to mid-January 2024
Date Added: 22/12/2023
The following is a notice from National Highways on the A1 Overnight Closures from early to mid-January 2024:
CCTV install on A1
Before we can start building the new A421-A1 northbound slip road and the new link road overbridge that connect to Roxton Road, we need to close the A1 northbound and southbound overnight between Tempsford and the Black Cat roundabout to install CCTV columns in several locations.
How will this affect me?
We’ll be installing CCTV on the A1 in alternate directions between Tempsford and the Black Cat roundabout between Wednesday 3 to Friday 5 January 2024 (overnight 9pm-6am) and Wednesday 10 to Thursday 11 January 2024 (overnight 9pm-6am).
The diversion route will be clearly signed, as follows:
-
During the A1 Northbound closure – northbound traffic will use the A603 at SANDY & the A421 re-joining the A1 at Black Cat roundabout. Southbound traffic will continue to use the A1.
-
During the A1 Southbound closure – southbound traffic will use the A421 & the A603 at SANDY re-joining the A1 at Sandy roundabout. Northbound traffic will continue to use the A1.
Any local traffic wishing to join the A1 going North within the closed section during the stated time period, will be diverted South on the A1 northbound lanes to rejoin the diversion at Sandy roundabout.
Please remember:
-
Traffic approaching the closure location shortly before 9pm is likely to be subject to the diversion while the closure is put in place.
-
We always try to stick to timings; however, these closures may be amended due to poor weather or operational reasons.
-

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience you may experience during the upcoming roadworks.
