Road closures: five for Bath and North East Somerset drivers this week

Drivers in and around Bath and North East Somerset will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for 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 one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A36, from 8am December 9 to 5pm December 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A36 Bathampton to Claverton traffic signals for survey works.

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

• A36, from 9am December 19 to 5am December 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A36 Both Directions Bath to Claverton two-way signals for tree removal.

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