DRIVERS IN and around Stroud will have four National Highways road closures to watch out for 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 four closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M5, from 8pm July 15 to 6am July 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 13 to junction 12, lane closures for surveys.

• M5, from 8pm July 15 to 6am July 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction J11A to junction 12, lane closure for barrier works.

• M5, from 8pm July 17 to 6am July 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction 12, lane closures for barrier works.

• M5, from 9pm July 23 to 6am July 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 12, lane closure for electrical works.

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