Road closures: one for North Somerset drivers over the next fortnight

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

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that it is 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 is due to start over the next two weeks:

• M5, from midnight, September 17 to 11pm September 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5, junction 16 to 25 used by GWR Railway Replacement Buses. For closure of Bristol Temple Meads to Taunton route.

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