Part of the M1 is fully closed this Monday morning due to a man who is refusing to come down from a motorway sign gantry.

 

The southbound carriageway remains closed between junctions 23A and 22.

 

The man climbed up the gantry, between junctions 23 and 22, at 1pm on Sunday - and despite the efforts of police officers has yet to come down.

 

The man is dressed in a dark hoodie, and has been seen using a mobile phone.

Road users are advised to exit the M1 at junction 23A and take the A42 southbound continuing onto the M42 southbound.

 

At Birmingham take the M6 southbound and re-join the M1 at junction 19. The northbound carriageway is not affected.

 

A spokesman for Leicestershire Police said: "Motorists are being advised to avoid the southbound carriageway of the M1 motorway following concerns for a man on a bridge.

"In the interests of public safety it has been necessary to close the southbound carriageways of the motorway at junction 23.

 

"The Highways Agency traffic officers are dealing with the diversion routes and trained police officers are communicating with the man in order to reach a safe conclusion.

 

"If any motorists are caught up in the closures we would like to reassure you that we have not taken this decision lightly and are aiming to open the motorway as soon as possible."
