And one of them could be awkward as it is expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list shows that four closures already in place are expected to carry on this week, and a further eight closures will begin over the next seven days.

The list only features roads maintained by National Highways, which is responsible for motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads are not included in their schedule.
