Road closures: five for North Somerset drivers this week

Drivers in and around North Somerset will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

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

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

• M5, from 8pm March 14 to 6am March 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 20 lane closures for road markings.

• M5, from 10pm March 15 to 6am March 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 19 lane closures for structure inspection.

• M5, from 10pm March 18 to 6am March 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5, junction 19 to 20 southbound, lane closure for carriageway repairs.

• M5, from 10pm March 18 to 6am March 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5, junction 20 to 19 northbound, lane closure for carriageway repairs.

• M5, from 10pm March 23 to 6am March 24, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5, junction 20 lane closure in both directions for drainage works.

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