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

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

And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing holdups of between 10 and 30 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 7pm October 10 to 6am December 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 22 to 21 lane closures for resurfacing.

And a further two closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• M5, from 8pm December 13 to 6am December 15, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 21 carriageway closure between exit and entry slip roads for resurfacing, diversion via exit and entry slip roads.

• M5, from 9pm December 18 to 6am December 19, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 21 entry slip closed for carriageway repairs. Diversion via, junction 22 and back.

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