THREE roads for Bedford drivers to avoid this week - including A1

Motorists in and around Bedford will have THREE National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A1, from 9pm February 21 to 5am March 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Baldock to Brampton - mobile lane closures for drainage works on behalf of Ringway

And a further two closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A1, from 9pm February 28 to 5am September 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, junction 10 to junction Alconbury - mobile lane closure for sweeping of carriageway works on behalf of Ringway

• A421, from 9pm March 14 to 5am March 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A421 eastbound and westbound, M1, junction 13 to Black Cat Roundabout - mobile lane closure IPV for Horticulture (Cutting and Planting) on behalf of Ringway
