National Highways has released data showing new road closures taking place this week, with drivers advised to avoid those routes whilst the works are under way.

The planned road closures from across the county are split into categories of how long the delays are expected to be, and these are 'up to 10 minutes', and 'between 10 and 30 minutes.'

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