Supporters attending Leicester City’s Barclays Premier League clash with Everton at King Power Stadium on Saturday 7 May are reminded that the M1 will undergo nighttime closures.
A new bridge is currently under construction and as a result, the M1 will be closed in both directions between junction 21 and 22 from 9pm on Saturday 7 May until 11am on Sunday 8 May. Those attending the fixture are asked to factor this closure into their travel plans in plenty of time so as to avoid delays. The M69 slip road onto the M1 northbound, the A46 from its junction with the A50 to where it merges with the M1 and Leicester Forest East service station will also be closed overnight during the work.
Diversion routes for local journeys include the A563, Leicester outer ring road, and the A50. Motorists travelling from further afield will be directed onto the M6 or M69, and M42/A42.
