Airport passengers warned about motorway roadworks

Passengers flying from East Midlands Airport over the coming week are being warned to allow extra time for roadworks.

The M1 junction, near EMA in Castle Donington, will have overnight roadworks taking place for seven days from Friday.

This includes work to the junction 24 roundabout at Kegworth Interchange, the M1 exit sliproad, the A50 eastbound at junction 1, and the link road between the A50 and the M1.

These roads will all be closed to traffic from 20:00 GMT overnight.
