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

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

But the news isn't too bad, with both of them only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M5, from 9pm August 29 to 5am August 30, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 21 - lane closure for barrier/fence safety repairs.

• M5, from 8pm August 31 to 5am September 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction 21 exit slip lane closures 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.
