Drivers in and around Mid Devon will have 12 National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists 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 three closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• M5, from 6am October 24 to 6am November 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 26 to 28 narrow lanes with 50mph speed limit for resurfacing works. Includes a lane closure and hard shoulder running. Maintaining three running lanes.

• M5, from 6am October 24 to 6am November 2, 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, maintaining three running lanes.
