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

And they are both are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing holdups of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A36, from 7pm September 19 to 6am October 15, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A36 both directions Beckington (A361) to Farleigh (A366) carriageway closures for resurfacing, northbound, diversion via A361, A350 and A4, southbound, diversion via A366 and A361.

And one more closure will begin over the next seven days:

• A36, from 10pm October 20 to 6am October 21, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A36 Standerwick traffic lights for installation of bat boxes in preparation to main structure repairs.

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