Sandwell road closures: two for motorists to avoid this week

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

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• M6, from 8pm May 24 to 6am May 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 from, junction 8 to junction 10 northbound, Hard shoulder and lane closure for technology works.

• M6, from 9pm May 30 to 5am June 1, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 northbound, from M5 northbound to M6 southbound, link road, closure of the link road for bridge joint inspection.

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