Highways Agency Project Manager Arvind Patel said:
“The surface on this stretch of the M1 has reached the end of its serviceable life and needs to be replaced to improve skid resistance.
“We advise drivers to plan their journey by checking traffic conditions on www.highways.gov.uk before they set off and to allow extra time for their journey.”
