Drivers in and around Torridge will have two National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that both 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 two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A30, from 8pm April 9 to 4am April 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A30 both directions Stowford lane closures for barrier repairs.

• A30, from 9.30am to 3.30pm on April 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A30 both directions Stowford lane closures for structure inspection.

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