DRIVERS in and around Somerset West and Taunton will have a National Highways road closure to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that it is only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure started this week:

• M5, from 8pm May 23 to 4am June 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes):
M5 northbound and southbound, junction 31 - 20 mobile lane closures for maintenance.

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