All lanes re-opened again yesterday just before many commuters were setting off on their evening journeys home.
And the the knock-on effects of the closure meant rush-hour delays of at least 60 minutes for many people.
However, all congestion eventually cleared and this morning, there are no reports of any lingering issues on the M1 or surrounding routes.
