Notification of essential maintenance works - A1 LED Phase 2 Surveys

We'll be carrying out surveys as part of our plans to upgrade the current lighting to LEDs on the A1 between Blyth and Grantham. The new LED lighting will be more energy efficient and require less maintenance in the future.

When will this work take place?

We’ll work overnight, between 8pm and 6am, from 6 May 2025 and 30 May 2025, Monday to Friday.

What does this mean for you?

To ensure our work is carried out safely, we’ll work under a combination of full closures and lane closures. Whenever possible, we’ll coordinate with existing closures from other schemes nearby.

During closures, fully signed diversions will be in place.

Please see below our programme of work for the first two weeks. Further updates for the remainder of our work will be provided on our website using the link below.

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout.

We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.

Please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
