<p>The surfacing on the A1 motorways (M) near the Hatfield tunnel is currently under
review by National Highways to ensure that the road remains safe and serviceable for
all road users.</p><p> </p><p>The A1(M) is inspected on a weekly basis, currently
on Tuesdays. During NH’s inspections it categorises all defects identified according
to their severity. The most severe defects, which are a potential risk to road users,
are made safe within 24 hours and permanently repaired within 28 days. Less severe
defects are monitored during the weekly inspections and repaired if they deteriorate
or within six months, normally alongside other planned works. This arrangement enables
us to keep the roads safe whilst minimizing the disruption to road users from roadworks.</p><p>
</p><p>All of the defects on the A1(M) in the most severe category have been repaired.</p><p>
