Can't see a thread about this. Was I the only one caught out by it? They closed it from Junctions 46-47 and diverted us bumper to bumper through country roads. Didn't get home till 1am

Wouldn't mind but Google Maps didn't mention it, and I didn't see any warnings from the club that the road closure was in place.

And I was supposed to know this how? I don't travel that stretch often, and certainly not at that time of day

I don't have any plans on travelling to away games but if I did decided to have an experience of an away game and had my heart set on what would be my first ever away game and doing what would be for me something new and adventurous, it would obviously be somewhere like Doncaster or York City. It clearly won't be any time before the A1 improvements finish but for arguments sake I did decide to go, what is happening exactly? I don't know the exact details and what is happening in each section, but generally I know they are obviously widening both lanes and the speed is down to about 40 or 50 mph and in some places closed altogether. But what plans are in place for drivers to avoid this stretch of the motorway? What are drivers being instructed to do?

Would of thought there would of been some advance warning by the club's media outlets . It would of gave people a chance to maybe look at an alternative route

That reminds me, I must check the club to see if there are any problems with the roads this afternoon, they are always my first call for the latest travel hotspots.

Exactly this. Saw all the sheep queuing to follow the diversion with a left turn at the top of the slip so turned right against the flow. 10 mins later came back onto the A1 at Junction 47.
Amazing what you can do with a sat nav and a dare to be different attitude.
