Road Closures Scheduled Across Major Highways

This weekend marks the 65th anniversary of Britain's M1 motorway, which has seen significant roadworks and a drop in average speeds to 60.7 mph due to ongoing safety upgrades and restrictions. Meanwhile, the A40 Golden Valley bypass will be closed from Friday night to Monday morning for resurfacing to enhance safety. In South Africa, the N3 will experience a full closure for blasting activities on November 5, with traffic rerouted during this time. Additionally, various closures and construction projects are reported across California's highways, including ongoing work on U.S. 101 and Route 36 that may cause delays. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time due to these disruptions.
