Road closures: three for Sandwell drivers this week

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 moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup 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 this week:

• A4123, from 9pm August 30 to 6am September 3, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 northbound, jct four to jct 3, lane closures with closure of jct three exit slip road for emergency resurfacing works.

• M6, from 8pm August 31 to 6am September 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound and southbound, junction 9, lane closures on slip roads leading to lane closures on, junction 9 roundabout for inspection/survey.

• M5, from 9pm September 5 to 6am September 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 2 to junction 4, M5 southbound, junction 4 to junction 2, mobile hard shoulder and lane one closures for inspection/survey.

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