Road closures: four for Sandwell drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Sandwell 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 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that four closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M6, from 9pm November 29 to 6am November 30, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound and southbound, junction 8 to junction 9, Lane closures for safety repair works.

• A4123, from 8pm December 1 to 6am December 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 2, slip road closure due to communications works, diversion via National Highways network.

• A456, from 9pm December 1 to 5am December 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 1 to junction 2, slip road and lane closure for communication works.

• A4123, from 10pm December 11 to 6am December 13, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 both directions jct eight to M5 jct one, carriageway closure for survey works.

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