A slip road on the A1 dual carriageway was shut following a lorry spillage.

According to National Highways' Traffic England map, the A1 northbound entry slip from the A605 closed at A1(M) junction 17 this morning (Sunday, June 12).

The closure meant there is no direct access between Peterborough Services and the A1 for Stamford.

The road reopened at around 1.15pm.
