Sandwell's motorists will have three road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with all 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 three 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 and jct two northbound, exit slip road carriageway closure for technology works.

• M6, from 9pm October 31 to 6am November 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, link road to M6 southbound, jct eight to 7, lane closures for inspections.

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