A1 | Lincolnshire | Carriageway Closure | Delays 15 minutes

The A1 is currently closed from its junction with the A607 near Grantham to the B1174 near Little Ponton with delays of at least 15 minutes covering several miles of the southbound carriageway. This closure is due to a road traffic collision and Highways England has resources deployed working hard to restore normal conditions as soon as possible.

For traffic approaching the closure locally, you are advised to expect disruption with extra journey time and may potentially have to re-route your journey. 

If travelling towards this area from much farther afield, you may wish to change your strategic route, allow extra travel time and follow guidance from our on-road variable message signs and media. 

Diversion route is signed by the hollow diamond details and guidance is as follows;


Exit A1 at A607 Harlaxton S/B junction; continue along the slip road and straight over the Swingbridge Road Roundabout. At end of the slip road, turn right (w) onto A606 and continue W/B. Go straight at Farmers Arms Pub Roundabout & continue along the A606 through of Harlaxton, Croxton Kerrial, Waltham on the Wolds and Thorpe Arnold to Melton Mowbray. At the A607/A606/B676 Norman Way/ Thorpe Lane junction, continue straight ahead (w) onto the A606 Thorpe End and Sherrand Street, and then turn left (s) onto Burton Street heading south out of Melton Mowbray. Continue along A606 through villages of Burton Lazars and Langham to Barleythorpe Roundabout at the northern end of Oakham Bypass. At Barleythorpe Roundabout, turn left (s-e), onto the Okaham Bypass and continue straight over the Railway Bridge Roundabout, Ashwell Roundabout, and A606/B668 roundabout to the A606/A6003/B640 roundabout. Turn left (e) & continue on the A606 through villages of Whitwell and Empingham to the A1/A606 Stamford southbound junction, turn left onto the slip road and rejoin the A1.
