COMMUTERS heading in to Barnsley have been warned that delays are likely after the M1 was closed.
The motorway has now reopened only on lanes two and three between Junction 37 (Barnsley) and Junction 38 but the Barnsley access remains closed due to the investigation works.
It is thought a mini bus crash earlier this morning caused the closure.
A signed diversion is available for all northbound traffic which should exit at J37 and follow the "hollow square" symbol" via the A628 towards Penistone, join the A629 towards Shepley, take the A635 towards Denby Dale and then join the A636 towards Wakefield to rejoin the M1 northbound at J39.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
