Mid Devon's motorists will have eight road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers 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 four closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• M5, from 6am November 2 to 6am November 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 28 to 26 narrow lanes with 50mph speed limit for resurfacing works. Includes lane closure and hard shoulder running.

• M5, from 6am November 2 to 6am November 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 26 to 28 narrow lanes with 50mph speed limit for resurfacing works. Includes lane closures and hard shoulder running.

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