M1 widening around J 28

[Beemer-5]

Anyone know when the work starts?

Signs say today, until 2010 (and I don't think that means ten past eight either)

Great

No doubt it will go massivly over that date as well.

Personally, I dont know why they are bothering, as everyone will continue to use lanes 3 & 4, so it will make sod all differance.

it will help when it's all at a stand as is so often the case around 27-31.

By the time it's built there will be twice as much traffic !

Nah, they've started to price people off the road already, by then, many many won't have the money to keep a car!

The widening from J25 to J28 shouldn't entail many lane closures as MVM are using a new method developed by Vinci CGP.

Hmm deep joy. I'm implementing working from home more and more as Loughborough J24 - Office between J29-30 will be a nightmare.

On the plus side, the building of J29A will take me straight to the office from the motorway in less than 2 mins, cutting off 10 mins from the journey time at the moment.
