South Holland road closures: two for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

South Holland's motorists will have two 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 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 two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A47, from 8.30am October 2 to 3.30pm October 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A47 both directions, Guyhirn roundabout to Elm High Road roundabout - 24 hour diversion route on behalf of Crusader TM.

• A47, from 7.30am October 16 to 6pm October 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A47 both directions, Guyhirn Roundabout to Wisbech Road - diversion route due to signs - erection works on behalf of Non-Statutory Body.

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