Massive tailbacks are building near a major UK airport owing to resurfacing operations.

Motorists are experiencing hold-ups of up to 45 minutes as three out of four lanes have been shut.

The closure affects the stretch between junction 10 Luton Airport and junction nine Dunstable on the M1.

Traffic cameras reveal substantial queues starting to develop near the transport hub in the early hours.

Motorists have been urged to anticipate disruption and allow additional time for their trips.

A spokesperson for National Highways said: "Three lanes (of four) are closed between J10 (Luton Airport) and J9 (Dunstable) of the M1 due to resurfacing works. Current delays of 45 minutes on approach."
