A1 closures to expect near Biggleswade and Sandy this week

Biggleswade and Sandy's motorists will have four road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A1, from 3.06pm February 7 to 3.06pm February 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Orchard Road to Sandy roundabout - lane closure for emergency maintenance works on behalf of UKPN.

And a further two closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A1, from 9pm February 26 to 5am March 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 both directions, Wyboston to Biggleswade - lane closure for horticulture (cutting and planting) on behalf of National Highways.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
