Road closures: three for Bristol drivers this week

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

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

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

• M32, from 9am August 15 to 3pm August 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M32 both directions, junction 1 lane closure on exit slips for street cleansing on behalf of South Gloucestershire.

• M32, from 9pm August 17 to 6am August 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M32 southbound, junction 2 to 3 lane closure on slip roads and main carriageway for Bristol City Council sign installations.

• M49, from 10pm August 18 to 6am August 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 18 exit Slip to A4 St Brendans Roundabout - Lane closure for Horticulture (Cutting and Planting) works.

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