Road closures: four for Sandwell drivers this week

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

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A38, from 9pm October 25 to 6am November 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions M6 jct eight to the M5 jct 5, Lane closures switching for maintenance repairs.

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

• A4123, from 9pm October 31 to 6am November 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions jct two exit slips and roundabout, lane closures and jct two northbound, exit slip road carriageway closure for technology works.

• M6, from 9pm October 31 to 6am November 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, link road to M6 southbound, jct eight to 7, lane closures for inspections.

• M6, from 9pm November 13 to 6am November 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, link road to M6 southbound, jct seven, lane closure for drainage 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.
