This has caused a lot of problems this morning
Roads are expected to be shut for most of the day after a lorry was left hanging off a bridge on the M1 in the early hours. It comes as the heavy goods vehicle smashed into a bridge barrier over the A14 shortly before 4.40am on Monday, April 24.
Motorists have been urged to avoid the area altogether if possible with the roads expected to be shut throughout the day. A crane was deployed to recover the truck, which has since been removed from the precarious position.But damage to the road surface and barrier means emergency repair work is ongoing at the scene. Highways England said in an update: "The closures will be in place most of the day due to the nature of the collision and complex recovery work.
Traffic is expected to be slow throughout the day with queues already stretching five miles on the approach to the closure on the M1. Only the southbound side is closed but there are still delays on the northbound side.
