North Somerset road closures: two for motorists to avoid this week

North Somerset's motorists will have two road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that both of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start this week:

• M5, from 8pm January 11 to 6am January 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 Both Directions, junction 19 to junction 20 lane closures for barrier repair.

• M5, from 8pm January 15 to 6am February 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 Both Directions, junction 18 to junction 20 lane closures for barrier upgrade.

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