There’s an additional northbound closure of the A1 tonight to repair a large pothole which has appeared on the busy dual-carriageway
The closure from 8pm – 6am (Thursday morning) will be between Barnsdale Bar and Ferrybridge Interchange
The southbound contraflow is not affected.
Traffic will use the diversion routes already in place for closures in this area
Diversion detail:
- Northbound high-sided vehicles, traffic north of Wadworth (junction 35) – leave A1 at Barnsdale Bar onto A6201 and onto A628 re-joining A1 from the A645 via Ferrybridge Interchange. The Environmental Weight Restriction for HGVs on A628 Ackworth has been revoked during overnight closures of the A1. This is due to height restrictions on alternate route.
- Northbound diversion, traffic north of Wadworth (junction 35) – leave A1 at Barnsdale Bar onto A639, re-joining A1 from the A645 via Ferrybridge Interchange. There are height restrictions on this route.
- Northbound diversion – traffic on A1 up to Wadworth (junction 35) – leave junction 35 onto M18 and M62 to Ferrybridge Interchange.
Highways Yorkshire said: “Thank you for your patience while we complete these emergency repairs. We apologise to residents on the diversion route who may experience increased traffic noise overnight.”
