•M5, from 9pm October 15 to 6am October 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 3 to junction 2, Lane closure for maintenance works.

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