Bath and North East Somerset's motorists will have eight 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 less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that four closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A36, from 12.10am March 2 to 4.50am March 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A4 Bath and A36 Bath to Beckington used by GWR Railway Replacement Buses on Bristol Temple Meads - Frome / Westbury to Chippenham route.

• A46, from 8am March 1 to 4pm March 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 Both Directions M4, junction 18 to Tadwick Verge works for horticulture.

• A36, from 9.30am February 22 to 11.59pm March 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A36 Bathampton traffic lights in place for emergency Wales and West Utilities work.

• A36, from 8am February 5 to 5pm March 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A36 Both Directions Bathampton to Beckington 24/7 multi way signals for drainage.

And a further four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A4, from 9am March 7 to 4pm March 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A4 eastbound, London Road Rbt to Box Rbt lane closure for horticulture.

• A4, from 9am March 11 to 4pm March 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A4 westbound, Box Rbt to London Road Rbt lane closure for horticulture.

• A46, from 8am to 4pm on March 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 Both Directions Cold Ashton Rbt to London Road Rbt verge works for horticulture.

• A46, from 8pm March 18 to 6am March 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 Both Directions M4, junction 18 to Cold Ashton multi-way signals for horticulture.

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