HC Deb 03 April 1984 vol 57 c442W
Sir Dudley Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how long he anticipates the extensive road works, involving a contra-flow system, immediately south of the Watford Gap service area on the M1 motorway will take.

Mrs. Chalker

Work started on the reconstruction of 61½2 miles (10 kms) of the northbound carriageway between junctions 16 and 18 on 12 March, and the contract is expected to be completed by November, 1984. Reconstruction is in 11 phases to minimise delay, starting at junction 16.
