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

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

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that six closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M5, from 9pm July 17 to 6am July 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 21 exit slip, lane closure for carriageway repairs.

• M5, from 9pm July 19 to 6am July 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 21 - lane closure for electrical works.
