The A1 in North Yorkshire will be closed overnight for the next two Saturdays ( July 12 and 19) as part of major upgrade of much of the route into a three-lane motorway.

Both closures will be from 8pm on Saturday until 6am on Sunday - northbound between junction 50 (Baldersby) and Scotch Corner, and southbound between Scotch Corner and junction 51 (Leeming).
