<p>Highways England inspectors travel the network to carry out weekly safety inspections
of the A1. If any safety critical defects are identified, an instruction is given
to mitigate any immediate safety issues within 24 hours. Permanent repairs are then
carried out within a timescale appropriate to the severity and impact of the defect,
frequently within 28 days.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>During February 2019, Highways
England carried out some patching repairs to the A1 northbound carriageway near to
Claypole. Road signs have also been installed within the area to advise drivers of
uneven road surface conditions. Orders for permanent repairs have been raised and
Highways England contractors are planning resources to undertake the repair work.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>On 2 March 2019, overnight patching works will be carried out within
the area. These works will be completed by a machine, leaving a smoother road surface,
as opposed to patching applied by hand.</p><p> </p>
