Road closures: two for Sandwell drivers this week

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

But the news isn't too bad, with both of them only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start this week:

• A38, from 9pm October 25 to 6am November 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions M6 jct eight to the M5 jct 5, Lane closures switching for maintenance repairs.

• A4123, from 9pm October 31 to 6am November 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions jct two exit slips and roundabout, lane 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.
