This means that the motorway will be closed off in both directions between the Hamm exit and Grunewald junction. Traffic will be diverted between Friday 28 April around 10pm and Tuesday 2 May at 4am, the Bridges and Roads Authority says.

Traffic in the direction of Germany will be diverted to Findel via the Sandweiler roundabout. In the direction of Luxembourg, motorists will be leaving the exit at Senningerberg.

Access to the A1 from Kirchberg in the direction of Gasperich will remain open.
