Highways Agency

The Project

The sections to be looked at are the M1 from Junction 30 north of Chesterfield, past Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield and south east Leeds, past Garforth to Junction 48 with the A1 (M), the section of the A1(M) north to its junction with the A64 trunk road east of Leeds and the M621 Motorway south of Leeds from the M62 Junction 27 at Gildersome to the M1 Junction 43 at Rothwell.

The Route Management Strategy (RMS) process has been developed by the Highways Agency to manage individual motorways and trunk roads as part of the wider transport network.

The study will lead to the publication of a Route Management Strategy which will help the Highways Agency in their planning and optimising investment for the M1 motorway over a ten-year period.

This study gives all road users the opportunity to comment on where problems lie and where investment may be needed over the next ten years. It is hoped that feedback from a wide spectrum of users will be received so that improvements can be effectively prioritised.
