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

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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 7pm January 8 to 6am January 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 22 to 21 lane closures for resurfacing.

• M5, from 8pm January 12 to 6am January 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 20 to 19, lane closure closure for barrier repairs.

• M5, from 8pm January 15 to 6am January 18, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 21 to 20 closed for carriageway repairs. Diversion via A370, A4 to M5, junction 18, (Clean Air Zone charge suspended on diversion route during closure times only).

• M5, from 9am to 4pm on January 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction 19 to 20 hard shoulder closures for electrical works.

• M5, from 8pm January 18 to 6am January 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 21 entry slip road closed for carriageway repairs. Diversion via M5, junction 22 and back.

• M5, from 9pm January 19 to 6am January 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 21 to 20, lane closure for carriageway repairs.

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