M5 motorway lane closure could cause delays, drivers warned

But the news isn't too bad, as it is only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• M5, from 9pm February 5 to 6am February 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 both directions, junction 7 to junction 8, Lane closure for maintenance works.

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