Overnight closures will be in place on the A1 southbound between Wyboston and Tempsford, just over the border in Bedfordshire , next week. The road will be shut from 9am until 5pm, between Monday, October 27, and Friday, October 31.

National Highways has explained that a new culvert is being built next to the A1 southbound carriageway. As a result, National Highways states, the A1 closure is necessary "to work safely".

Drivers will be able to take the following diversion route during the five impacted days:

Leave the A1 at Wyboston

Head east on the A428 towards St Neots

Take the St Neots Road south towards Tempsford and re-join the A1.
