Planned road works were being carried out on the road between junctions 14 and 15

A section of the M1 closed after a Tarmac truck broke down, National Highways (NH) said.

The northbound section of the road between junctions 14, for Milton Keynes, and 15, for Northampton, was shut after planned repair works overran.

It was due to open at 06:00 BST but reopened at about 07:00. There are delays of about 60 minutes in the area.

The road covering needed to dry and have markings painted on it, NH said.
