BROMSGROVE'S motorists will have four upcoming road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network. 

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

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that four closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A38, from 8pm December 4 to 6am December 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M42 northbound and southbound, junction 1 to M5, junction 4a, link road and lane closures due to electrical works, diversion via National Highways network.

• M5, from 9pm December 4 to 6am December 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions jct four to jct 3, lane closure for electrical works.

• M42, from 9pm December 4 to 6am December 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M42 westbound, junction 2 to junction 1, carriageway closure due to resurfacing works.

• M42, from 9pm December 11 to 6am December 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M42 southbound, junction 2 to junction 1, Hard shoulder, lane one and two closure for horticulture works.

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