CARLISLE's motorists will have two road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are 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 September 18 to 3am September 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A69 eastbound, Low Row - multi way lights to carry out SU works.

• A69, from 7pm September 26 to 6am September 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A69 Hayton, one lane closed for carriageway resurfacing.

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