Road closures: eight for Rugby drivers this week

Drivers in and around Rugby will have eight National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing waits of between 10 and 30 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:

• M40, from 9.30pm February 5 to 6am February 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M40 northbound, junction 12 to junction 13, Lane closures for maintenance works.

• A45, from 8am January 8 to 5pm March 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A45 both directions Dunsmore Heath to A45/M45 island, diversion route for local authority.

And a further five closures will begin over the next seven days:

• M1, from 8am to 4pm on February 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound and southbound, junction 19 (M1) to junction 1, hard shoulder closures due to maintenance works.

• M6, from 9pm February 15 to 6am February 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound, jct two to jct three lane closures for electrical works.

• A5, from 7am to 5pm on February 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5 northbound and southbound, Burbage to Smockington, diversion route due to works on behalf of Leicestershire County Council.

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