CARLISLE's motorists will have two 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 under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures will begin over the next two weeks: 

• A69, from 7pm July 29 to 6am August 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A69 both directions Temon between Greenhead and Low Row - traffic signals with convoy working to carry our resurfacing.

• A69, from 9am to 4pm on July 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A69 eastbound, Scotby - Lane closure to carry out Street lighting repair.

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