Mendip's motorists will have a road closure to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that it is only expected to cause slight delays, of under 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:

• A303, from 8pm September 8 to 6am September 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A303 both directions Sparkford to Podimore lane closures - for Sparkford to Ilchester improvement scheme.

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