Transport for London (TfL) is warning of ‘significant delays’ in the Edgware area which are expected to last into the summer.
Repairs are underway to the A41 Edgware Way bridge which crosses the M1 near Apex Corner.
Work begins on Friday April 1 and lasts until mid-August, according to TfL.
The project will result in complete road closures at night as well as lane closures during the day.
TfL said all main access roads and surrounding roads, such as the A1 and Edgware and Stanmore streets, will be “busy” and people can expect “significant delays” in their movements.
A number of bus lines will be disrupted with traffic on the A41 and M1 impacted.

Below you will find a series of questions and answers about the works taking place and when and how they may affect people using the road network.
How will the A41 be affected?
During the day the A41 will be open but there will be lane closures in and around the bridge where work is taking place.
Throughout April and until May 16, only one lane will operate eastbound between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m.
From May 10 to 16 and from June 20 to July 22, only one lane will operate westbound between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m.
However, there will also be full nighttime closures to contend with, which will often occur on weekends.
From April 1-2, May 6-9 and June 16-17, the A41 will be closed eastbound between the Spur Road roundabout and Apex Corner between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., with a closure until at 6:00 a.m. from June 16 to 17.
From May 9-10, June 17-20, July 15-18 and July 22-25, the A41 will be closed westbound from Apex Corner to Oakmead Gardens between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
How will M1 be affected?
There will be overnight lane closures on the M1, but these are not expected to start until the end of July and will only take place between 10pm and 5am.

What is TfL’s advice?
TfL said the roads would be ‘extremely busy’ and warned people to ‘expect significant delays’.
For those making shorter journeys, people are recommended to walk or cycle, if possible.
Those passing through the area into central London are recommended to avoid the A41 and use the A1 or A10 instead, while those passing through Greater London are advised to use the M25.
