Mid Devon's motorists will have five 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 less than 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 6am November 15 2024 to 9pm January 7 2025, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction 26 to 28 contraflow, narrow lanes and 50mph speed limit. Southbound, traffic to travel in the hard shoulder and lane 1. Northbound, traffic to travel on the southbound, side, in lanes two and 3. For resurfacing works.

• M5, from 9am July 18 2022 to 11.59pm August 29 2027, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5, junction 28 to 29 hard shoulder closure in both directions for parapet works.

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

• M5, from 8pm December 9 to 6am December 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 28 to 26 carriageway closure for resurfacing works. Diversion via the B3181 and A38.

• M5, from 8pm December 11 to 4am December 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 28 to 29 lane closure for carriageway reconstruction.

• A30, from 8pm December 11 to 6am December 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A30 westbound, Fingle Glen to Woodleigh, lane closure for barrier works.

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