Road closures on A1 to begin next week

Road closures on the A1 start next week. The closures will add extra capacity to junction 17 of the A1(M) and junction 1 of the Fletton Parkway to enable the expansion of the Gateway Peterborough business park.

The work is being carried out overnight on weeknights only, between 8pm and 6am. Work on the southbound carriageway is due to start on Monday and be completed by Wednesday, November 8. On the northbound carriageway, work is expected to begin on Monday, November 20 and to be completed by Wednesday, December 6.

Fully signed diversions will be in place with drivers heading southbound directed off the A1 at the A47 Wansford onto the eastbound A47, then taking Nene Parkway onto Fletton Parkway westbound to the A1(M) at junction 17. When the northbound carriageway is closed, drivers will follow the same diversion route in reverse.
