COPELAND's motorists will have a road closure to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But the news isn't too bad, as it is only expected to cause slight delays, of under ten minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure is due to start over the next two weeks: A595, from 8pm March 7 to 6am March 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A595 northbound and southbound, Egremont to Bigrigg, Multi-way traffic signals for LED upgrade works.

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