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.

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 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:

• 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.

• M6, from 9pm September 18 2019 to 6am December 31 2023, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6, junction 6 BC link road, 24 hour hatched area for bridge repairs.

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

• M6, from 9pm December 19 to 6am December 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound, junction 6 to junction 7, lane closure for drainage works.

• M6, from 9pm December 19 to 6am December 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound, jct five to jct six, lane closure for barriers repairs.

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