At the end of 2015, construction in that area began to install concrete safety barriers in the centre of the carriageway, among other improvements. Each motorway in England requires that a legal document called a Statutory Instrument is published, detailing the route of the road, before it can be built. This type of barrier is designed to last 50 years, and requires very little maintenance. Since then, Compulsory Acquisition Notices have been issued to around 500 landowners along the favoured route. However, where the carriageways are separated North of Tebay, they are opposite one another. The concrete safety barrier and new drainage in the central reservation is complete through the whole length of the scheme. The new barrier will reduce future maintenance and therefore disruption to motorists and residents. Highways Agency - Latest M1 Traffic News.
