Derbyshire drivers warned of M1 roadworks

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

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

• A38, from 8pm February 3 to 6am February 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, A38 Clover Nook to Tibshelf Services, Lane closure due to maintenance works.

• M1, from 8pm February 5 to 6am February 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 29a to junction 29, Lane closure due to maintenance works.
