Two M53 lane closures set to take place this week

But the news isn’t too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes. The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures are due to start over the next two weeks: o M53, from 8pm March 6 to 5am March 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M53 northbound, J5 to J4 – lane closure for structure – maintenance on behalf of National Highways. o M53, from 10am March 11 to 3pm March 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M53 both directions J2 to J1 – lane closure for inspection/survey.

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