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 is due to start this week:

• A5, from 9pm March 21 to 6am March 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5 westbound, wolfshead island, lane closure on island with approaches for electrical signage repairs.

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