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 two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M5, from 9pm November 6 to 6am November 25, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 southbound, jct eight to jct six, slip road and lane closures due to carriageway repairs, diversion via national highways network.

• M5, from 9pm November 15 to 6am November 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions jct two to jct 3, lane closures for signage maintenance/repairs.

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