Bristol road closures: six for motorists to avoid this week

Bristol's motorists will have six road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that six closures are due to start this week:

• A4, from 8pm August 9 to 6am August 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A4 westbound, Crowley Way lane closure on behalf of BT.

• M32, from 10pm August 9 to 6am August 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M32 northbound and southbound, junction 2 to junction 1 - Lane closure for Structure maintenance works.
