Somerset West and Taunton's motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing a wait of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A30, from 8pm April 1 2025 to 4am April 1 2026, 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 October 20 to 4am October 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 27 to junction 26 - lane closure for drainage works.

• M5, from 9pm October 20 to 6am October 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 24 to junction 25 - lane closure for electrical works.

• M5, from 8pm October 27 to 6am October 31, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 27 to 25 carriageway closure to install narrow lanes for drainage works, diversion via A38.

• M5, from 8pm October 27 2025 to 6am February 7 2026, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 26 narrow lanes for drainage works.

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