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:

• 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 January 11 to 6am January 14, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 northbound, jct 4A to jct five and jct five northbound, exit slip road, Lane and exit slip road carriageway closure for barrier replacement.

• M5, from 11pm January 23 to 6am January 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions jct two to jct 5, short stops for surveys.

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