Highways England’s inspectors carry out weekly safety inspections of the A1. If any safety critical defects, including potholes, are identified, an instruction is given to mitigate any immediate safety issues within 24 hours. Repairs are carried out according to the severity of the defect, frequently within 28 days.

Highways England continues work to identify schemes for necessary resurfacing treatments and is committed to start resurfacing works on the A1 northbound carriageway between Wothorpe and South Witham at the end of the 2021/22 financial year.
