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 8pm January 2 to 6am January 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 19 lane closure for barrier repairs.

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

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