DRIVERS in and around Basingstoke and Deane will have two National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with both of them only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A34, from 8pm November 17 to 6am November 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A34 southbound, Whitchurch, slip road and lane closures for drainage work, diversion via National Highways network.

• A303, from 8pm November 20 to 6am November 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A303 eastbound, Overton to Micheldever, Lane closure for signage works.

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