Road closures: three for Sandwell drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Sandwell will have three 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 three closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M6, from 9.30am June 19 to 4pm June 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 southbound, jct eight to jct 7, hard shoulder closure for communication works.

• M5, from 9pm June 22 to 6am June 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions jct two to jct 3, lane closures for barrier repairs.

• M6, from 9pm July 3 to 6am July 4, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 northbound, jct eight to M5 southbound, link, Lane and slip road carriageway closures for technology works.

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