BASINGSTOKE and Deane's motorists will have six road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with all 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 one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A27, from 8pm March 7 to 6am April 30, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A34, A308M, A404, A303, A31, A3M, A3, A27, M4, M27, M271 and M3 whole lengths, mobile lane closures for drainage works.

And a further five closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A34, from 8pm April 13 to 6am April 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A34 northbound, Bullington to Whitchurch, slip road and lane closures for drainage work, diversion via National Highways and local authority network.

• A34, from 8pm April 19 to 6am April 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A34 northbound, Litchfield, slip road and lane closures for drainage work, diversion via National Highways network.

• A34, from 8pm April 21 to 6am April 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A34 northbound, Beacon Hill, slip road and lane closures for drainage work, diversion via National Highways network.

• A303, from 8pm April 21 to 6am April 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A303 eastbound, Bullington to Overton, Lane closure for Virgin media works.

• A34, from 8pm April 25 to 6am April 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A34 northbound, Tot Hill, slip road and lane closures for drainage work, diversion via National Highways network.

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