M1 full closure both ways: Carriageways reopened after full closure of M1 following rush hour incident
The M1 was reopened after an “incident” caused delays during rush hour.
There were huge delays between Junction 36 and 37 near Barnsley, Highways Yorkshire said. Both carriageways were closed as South Yorkshire Police “dealt with an incident”. The exact nature is not yet known.
Highways Yorkshire said at the time: “Road now closed due to an ongoing police-led incident. Road users caught within the closure please be patient. Our #trafficofficers and police will get you out of the closure as quickly as they can.”
The road reopened at around 6.30pm.
