Bristol road closures: three for motorists to avoid this week

Bristol's motorists will have three 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 less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A4, from midnight, October 16 to 11pm December 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A4 Portway Roundabout to St Andrews Roundabout used by GWR Railway Replacement Buses on Bristol Temple Meads - Severn Beach route.

And a further two closures will begin over the next seven days:

• M5, from 10pm November 8 to 6am November 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 18 to 19 - lane closures for electrical works.

• A4, from 10pm November 21 to 6am November 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 18 entry slip road from the M49 closed. Includes lane closures on the M5 southbound, junction 17 to 19 - For maintenance works, diversion via the alternative entry slip from St Brendans Roundabout.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
