Latest A1(M) Traffic News Updates

Every report National Highways is publishing for the A1(M) is gathered here, for both carriageways and all four motorway sections, from Junction 1 at South Mimms to Junction 65 at Birtley.

Filters cut it down to incidents, works or a single carriageway. Each report carries the time of its latest change and, when National Highways supplies one, an expected finish.

    Powered by National Highways’ Transport Data Feeds.

    Reading a report

    A card covers one event. Its heading names the place, normally as a pair of junctions, and the carriageway affected; underneath is the detail National Highways has logged — a blocked lane, a stranded vehicle, a closure for works — with its expected duration.

    Because the A1(M) is split into four pieces, a junction number also tells you the county. Numbers up to 10 are in Hertfordshire, 14 to 17 around Peterborough, 34 to 38 on the Doncaster Bypass, and 40 to 65 from West Yorkshire to Tyneside. The A1(M) junction list gives every number and the places it serves.

    What is not on this list

    This page is for the motorway sections only. Reports on the plain A1 between them — past the Black Cat and St Neots, Stamford, Grantham and Newark, or north of Newcastle — are on A1 traffic news.

    Only logged events appear. Something that happened a few minutes ago may not be in the feed yet, so an empty A1(M) list means nothing reported that we are aware of; it is no guarantee about the carriageway itself.

    News by section

    Most A1(M) journeys use only one or two of the six section pages, and each of those carries the reports for its own junctions next to its junction list and traffic count: Hertfordshire, Peterborough, the Doncaster Bypass, Ferrybridge to Wetherby, Harrogate to Scotch Corner and Darlington to Washington.

    The same news, narrowed down

    Changing motorway?

    At the southern end the A1(M) meets the M25; M25 Traffic covers the orbital. Near Leeds the M1 joins at Junction 43; M1 Traffic covers it. For the M18 and M62, which also meet the A1(M), see Traffic News England.

    A1Mtraffic.co.uk is dedicated to the A1(M) and the A1 in England, from London to the Scottish border. The parallel motorway is covered by M1 Traffic; at Junction 1 the A1(M) meets the orbital, covered by M25 Traffic.
