Drivers in and around South Hams will have seven National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

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

• A38, from 8pm January 20 to 6am January 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 both directions Marley Head to South Brent lane closure for structural inspection works.

• A38, from 8pm January 22 to 6am January 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 Both Directions Lee Mill to Marsh Mills lane closures for barrier repair.

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