Road closures: six for Stratford-on-Avon drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Stratford-on-Avon will have six National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

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

• M40, from 9pm November 21 2022 to 6am February 1 2024, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M42 northbound and southbound, jct three to M40 jct 16 and M42 jct five, lane closures with switching for construction improvement/upgrade.

• M42, from 9pm December 18 to 6am December 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M42 both directions, junction 2 to junction 3, Lane closure for drainage works.

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