Road closures: six for Birmingham drivers this week

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

And three of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• 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.
