Drivers in and around Somerset West and Taunton will have six National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• M5, from 9pm August 15 to 6am October 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 Both Directions, junction 24 to junction 26 lane closures for barrier renewal.

• A30, from 8pm October 27 2022 to 5am December 30 2023, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction 20 to 31 mobile lane closures for drainage works.

And a further four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• M5, from 8pm August 29 to 6am September 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 26 exit slip road closure for resurfacing, diversion via M5 northbound to junction 25 and return.

• M5, from 9pm September 7 to 5am September 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 25 entry slip lane closure for electrical works.

• M5, from 10pm September 8 to 6am September 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 25 lane closures for electrical works.

• M5, from 10pm September 10 to 6am September 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction 27 to junction 26 - lane closure for barrier/fence safety repairs.

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