Heard earlier that the M18 had been closed following an accident ...is it open again ?

Not closed according to AA's website. It's here (http://www.theaa.com/travelwatch/travel_news.jsp) for reference! :thumbsup:

Thanks K ! :) ................

I just checked. It appears to be open at 22.35 on Thursday. This may be your best chance!!!

they should close the sliproad that joins the M1 northbound permanently then it would cut 20 minutes off my jouney time during rush hour!!

I just checked again..... its still open, early friday afternoon.

I went both ways on it yesterday and it wasn't closed. A lorry had turned over around 6am and was still blocking the outer lane of the southbound section around 10am. The Police were just starting to stop the traffic whilst the 3 huge recovery trucks went on from the A1 sliproad.

When I returned about 1pm the road was down to 1 lane whilst the carriageway was resurfaced and the Armco replaced.

Can't see why it should be closed now.

on our way to sunny cleethorpes yesterday on the m18 and the traffic announcement kicks in " delays around j5 m18 due to an accident" just happens to be our exit to the m180 i wasnt a happy chappy got there and lo and behold no traffic at all we went round the island and there was a tanker on its side pointing down the bank back on the m18 sliproad police were there but not a lot happening but absoloutly no delay !!!

I drove on it today. It was still open at 15:30 this afternoon. Hope this helps.
