Just a heads-up for those of you travelling to Silverstone at sign-on time, found on a local news site :-
Road users will benefit from safer driving conditions during the night and in wet conditions as a result of forthcoming road markings and stud renewals on the M1 between junctions 15 and 16 near Northampton.
Work will start on Monday 5 September and is due to be completed on Sunday 18 September. All activity will take place overnight to minimise disruption for road users.
Traffic management will feature a 50mph speed limit and lane closures. There will be closures of the junction 15 and 15A northbound entry and exit, and the junction 16 northbound entry slip roads with signed diversion routes in place.
Overnight closures will operate at various times:
* Monday to Thursday 8:00pm - 05:00am
* Thursday 8:00pm - 06:00am (Friday)
* Friday 10:00pm - 08:00am (Saturday)
* Saturday 7:00pm - 10:00am (Sunday)
* Sunday 10:00pm - 05:00am (Monday)
Highways Agency project manager, Mark Braithwaite said:
"This scheme is to renew road markings and studs along a four mile stretch of the M1 in Northamptonshire, which will improve the safety of the carriageway for road users. All work has been scheduled to take place outside of peak hours, although we would still advise motorists to plan their journeys accordingly."
For more information, motorists can contact the Highways Agency Information Line on 0300 123 5000.
Note that this runs through to the next weekend too, for those coming to the CSCC.
I suspect that the A5 will be carrying a bit more traffic as a result?
