Road closures: two for Sandwell drivers over the next fortnight

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a wait of between 10 and 30 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:

• M6, from 9pm September 23 to 6am October 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 southbound, jct 10a to jct 6, lane closures for barrier repairs.

And one more closure will begin over the next two weeks:

• M5, from 9pm October 9 to 6am October 21, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 both directions jct three to jct 4, lane and slip road closure for 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.
