The first stage of this work, between Newark and Grantham, was carried out from 4 to 22 September and is now complete. The scheme is due to be completed by February 2018. As the scheme(s) along the A1 progresses there is potential for other lay-by closures and where possible these will be advertised in advance.</p><p> </p><p>This work is generally carried out overnight, with the carriageway being closed from 8pm to 6am. In order to ensure that the scheduled works are carried out uninterrupted, lay-bys are fully closed for the duration of the works. This closure is to prevent vehicles, primarily HGV’s, from parking for long periods and being unable to leave the lay-by when the road is closed without disrupting the works.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 17/10/2017 13:57:48 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
