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:

• M5, from 11pm November 24 to 4am November 25, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 both directions jct two to jct 5, short stop activities for inspections.

• M6, from 8pm November 25 to 5am November 26, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 southbound, jct eight to jct seven , hard shoulder closure for communication works.

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