Drivers in and around Mendip 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 less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A36, from 9pm August 11 2024 to 6am March 1 2025, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A36 northbound, on approach to Beckington Rbt, lane closure to facilitate with upstream full closure of the A36.

And one more closure will begin over the next two weeks:

• A36, from 8pm October 28 to 6am October 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A36 Tellisford traffic signals for surveys.

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