Mendip's motorists will have two road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network 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:

• A303, from 8pm August 19 to 6am August 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A303 both directions Sparkford to Podimore lane closures - for Sparkford to Ilchester improvement scheme.

• A303, from 8pm August 21 to 6am August 22, 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.
