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 three of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing waits of between 10 and 30 minutes.

• A5, from 8pm November 3 to 5am November 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5 northbound and southbound, Burbage, traffic signals due to maintenance works.
