The Considerate Constructors Scheme National Site Awards gave Highways England praise for a number of schemes, include the work to construct the smart motorway scheme on the M1.

The work has been plagued by criticism from drivers after delays caused by accidents in the roadworks. It led to a number of high-profile campaigns which resulted in a change to the width of the lanes in the roadworks section.
