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 and 30 minutes.

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

• M5, from 11pm December 27 to 6am December 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction 3 to junction 2, lane closures for barrier safety repairs.

• M5, from 9pm January 2 to 6am January 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 3 to junction 2, Lane closures due to barrier repairs.

• M5, from 9pm January 3 to 6am January 4, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 southbound, junction 7 to junction 6, carriageway, slip road and lane closures due to communication works.

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