National Highways is warning the northbound carriageway from junction 18 near Crick is set to remain shut for most of the morning.

There are tailbacks to junction 17 while sensors show also traffic gridlocked on the A5 going north for around six miles as far as the A426 as drivers are diverted off the motorway.
