There are road works starting on Monday on the M1 from Junction 6a to 10. Now, I know this is Monday next week, but I dam sure the annoying cone people will be putting these out on the Sunday afternoon causing chaos on the way back from Brunters for anyone going south on the M1


Saying that, I have just check here

and it looks like the road works are in force already up to junction 10 from junction 6a.

From Luton Airport website

London Luton Airport is only 30 minutes from North London, 15 minutes from the M25 and 5 minutes from the M1.

The airport is just two miles from the M1 motorway.

Exit the M1 at Junction 10. The route to the airport is clearly signposted.

Work starts on Monday 20th March 2006 on the M1 Widening scheme. Please allow extra time for journeys to the airport whilst the widening scheme for the M1, between junction 6A (M25) and junction 10 (Luton), is being carried out. The scheme will widen 10 miles (17 km) of the motorway to four lanes in each direction to relieve congestion and improve safety.
This will be achieved by widening three sections of the road:

- between junctions 6a and 7 southbound;
- northbound and southbound between junctions 8 and 9;
- and southbound between junctions 9 and 10.

The scheme will also provide parallel link roads between junctions 7 and 8 to cater for local traffic using the A414/M10 between Hemel Hempstead and St Albans.

There will be a mandatory 40mph speed restriction on the motorway while work takes place.
