Road closures: six for Bristol drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Bristol will have six National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• M49, from 8pm June 26 to 6am August 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M49 both directions M4, junction 22 to M5, junction 18a - lane closures for safety barrier work.

And a further five closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A4, from 10pm August 9 to 5am August 10, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 18 exit slip road and junction 18a link road to St Brendans Rbt closure for electrical works, diversion for exit slip, southbound to junction 19 and return, diversion for link road, Follow link road to Portway Rbt, right on Bristow Broadway to St Brendans Rbt.

• M5, from 8am to 6pm on August 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 17 to 18 hard shoulder closure for CCTV surveys.

• M32, from 10am August 16 to 3pm August 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M32 both directions, junction 1 exit slip roads, lane closure for grass cutting.

• M5, from 9pm August 21 to 5am August 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 18 to 19 - lane closures for structure maintenance.

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