Update: The road has now been reopened.

There has been severe disruption on the M1 near Hucknall this morning following a police incident.

The motorway was closed between Junction 27 at Hucknall and Junction 28 at Mansfield in both directions due to a police incident.

However, the Derbyshire Police led incident has now been resolved and the northbound carriageway has reopened.

The southbound carriageway remains closed, between J28 and J27 following the incident, for vehicle recovery and barrier assessment.

Road users travelling southbound are being diverted via the hollow square diversion symbol:

  • Exit M1 at J28 onto the A38 westbound
  • At the junction with Ripley, take the A610
  • Continue on the A610 around Ripley and Codnor
  • Rejoin the M1 at J26

Anyone travelling on the M1 northbound, is asked to allow time for the delays to ease.

Whilst anyone travelling southbound, should expect to add an additional 60 minutes on to their journey on approach to J28.

Further information is available from National Highways by visiting their website here and travel apps, or via their regional twitter feed. Their 24/7 contact centre team is also available to provide up to the minute information on 0300 123 5000.
