Road closures: nine for Rugby drivers this week

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that five closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• M6, from 8pm October 17 to 5am October 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound, Catthorpe, junction to junction 1, Lane closure due to maintenance works.

• M69, from 8pm September 12 to 6am December 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M69 both directions from M6 jct two to M69 jct one, lane closure for barrier repairs.

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

• A5, from 9pm October 24 to 6am October 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5 Crick, temporary traffic signals for works by Hutchison 3G Ltd.

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