COPELAND's motorists will have two road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.
And one of them is expected to cause major delays – with drivers facing a holdup of at least 30 minutes.
The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:
• A595, from 9.30am to 3.30pm on November 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A590 eastbound, Springfield road, traffic signals for BT works.
• A595, from 9pm November 14 to 6am November 15, severe delays (more than 30 minutes): A595 northbound and southbound, Howgate Roundabout to Clintz Roundabout, traffic signals for LED street lighting works.
National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
