Road closures: five for Sandwell drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Sandwell will have five 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 three closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• M6, from 9pm September 30 to 6am October 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 southbound, jct eight to jct 6, Lane closures for barrier repairs.

• A4123, from 9pm September 18 to 6am October 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions M6, junction 8 to M5, junction 3, lane closure switching for horticulture (cutting and planting) and litter picking.

• M6, from 9pm September 23 to 6am October 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 southbound, jct 10a to jct 6, lane closures for barrier repairs.

And a further two closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• M6, from 11pm October 5 to 6am October 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound, jct eight to jct 8, Lane closure for technology works.

• M5, from 9pm October 9 to 6am October 21, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 both directions jct three to jct 4, lane and slip road closure for inspection works.

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