Buckinghamshire's motorists will have 33 road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week. And six of them are expected to cause moderate delays - with drivers facing waits of between 10 minutes and half an hour. The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways [2], shows that five closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

o M40 [3], from 9.30pm May 23 to 6am May 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M40 southbound, junction 9 to junction 8a, Lane closures for maintenance work.
