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.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

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

• M5, from 10pm October 17 to 6am November 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 19 to 18 - Lane closures for Structure maintenance.

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

• M5, from 8pm November 7 to 6am November 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction 20 to junction 19 - lane closure for barrier/fence safety repairs.

• M5, from 8pm November 14 to 6am November 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction 19 to 20 lane closures for barrier repairs.

• M5, from 10pm November 14 to 6am November 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 19 to 18 - Lane closures for Structure maintenance.

• M5, from 10pm November 16 to 6am November 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 21 lane closure for electrical works.

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