M1 partially closed

Summary:
A part of the M1 motorway as big as 7 miles might not be completely open for traffic until the end of the week.  The motorway was badly damaged by a fire that started in a scrap yard under the bridge where the motorway is build on. A new bridge has to be build in order to allow the reopening of lanes.  It is unclear what caused the fire in the scrap yard and a police investigation has started investigated but has not released anything. Many football fans who are going to the FA cup semi-finals in Wembley have to change their travel plans.

Comment:
This is a very unlucky situation, especially with the coming semi-finals in Wembley. I’m very curious to what has caused the fire in the scrap yard, and what a scrap yard was doing under a high way, who owns the scrap yard or who is responsible. Because if it is so that the fire was caused by a person, that person is in for a unpleasant surprise. But it’s of course also possible that the fire had a natural cause.
