Motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that five closures are due to start this week:

• A590, from 9.30am to 3pm on May 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A590 eastbound and westbound, Ulverston Road, traffic signals for SU works (UU).

• M6, from 8pm May 12 to 6am May 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound and southbound, junction 36, Lane closures for survey works.

• A590, from 8pm May 18 to 6am May 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A590 eastbound and westbound, Witherslack to Sampool, traffic signals for SU works (BT).

• A590, from 8pm May 21 to 8pm May 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A590 eastbound and westbound, Newby Bridge to Haverthwaite, Lane two closure Switching to Lane one for Grass cutting, Weed Spraying, Litter removal, drainage clearance and inspections.

• A590, from 8pm May 22 to 5am May 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A590 Ulverston Road, traffic signals for SU works (BT).

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