Chaos on A1 Barnet Bypass: Jackknifed Lorry Blocks Southbound
The A1 Barnet Bypass southbound is completely shut after a lorry jackknifed, spilling a large amount of diesel. Traffic is being diverted off at South Mimms (J1) as authorities scramble to clear the mess.
Diesel Spill Cleanup and Road Damage Cause Hours of Delays
Police are teaming up with Highways England and emergency crews to tackle the massive diesel spill. Recovery is ongoing, but the road will stay closed for several hours due to damage to the surface.
Drivers are warned to expect lengthy delays and keep an eye out for updated diversion routes.
Meanwhile, M25 Anti-Clockwise Also Impacted by Planned Roadworks
Adding to the traffic nightmare, a planned closure affects the M25 anti-clockwise between Junctions 23 and 22. Motorists are advised to steer clear of the area and find alternative routes.
