MOTORISTS will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.
And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.
The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that five closures are due to start over the next two weeks:
• M6, from 8am to 6pm on April 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound, J26 to J27 - hard shoulder only for horticulture (cutting and planting).
• M6, from 8pm April 8 to 6am April 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound, J26 to J27 - lane closures and hard shoulder running for carriageway - reconstruction/renewal.
• M6, from 8pm April 11 to 5am April 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 southbound, J27 to J26 - lane closure for structure - maintenance on behalf of National Highways.
• M6, from 8pm April 15 to 6am April 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound, J26 to J27 - lane closures and hard shoulder running for carriageway - reconstruction/renewal.
• A580, from 9pm April 15 to 6am April 20, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 North and southbound, junction 21A - 26 lane closures and carriageway closures due to improvement works.
National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
