M1 traffic LIVE: Drivers hit by 2 miles of chaos and severe delays | UK | News

Three out of four lanes are closed on the M1 southbound between Junction 21A near Leicester and Junction 21 for the M69.

The closure is in place to allow emergency repairs to the road surface, meaning traffic is restricted to just one lane along this section.

Motorists can expect delays during the work as reduced capacity is likely to cause traffic congestion.
