Road closures: four for Birmingham drivers this week

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

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• M6, from 9pm September 18 2019 to 6am December 31 2022, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6, junction 6 BC link road, 24 hour hatched area for bridge repairs.

• A5, from 9pm December 8 2021 to 5.30am September 30 2023, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5 westbound, hints bypass between the A453 and A38 junctions, (tamworth to lichfield), temporary speed, lane closures with switching and narrow lanes running for general construction works.

And a further two closures will begin over the next seven days:

• M6, from 9pm May 12 to 6am May 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound and southbound, junction 6 to junction 8, Lane closure for inspection/survey.

• M6, from 9pm May 23 to 6am June 1, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 from, junction 6 to junction 5 southbound, lane closure leading to link road closure for bridge repair works.

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