MOTORISTS planning to drive up the M5 between Taunton and Bridgwater tonight (Thursday, August 3) should be aware of a carriageway closure.

The motorway northbound from Junction 25 to Junction 24 at the North Petherton turn off will be closed from 10pm tonight until 6am tomorrow (Friday, August 4).

The closure will enable workers to carry out resurfacing works.

A diversion will be in place via the A38.
