Drivers are being warned about a number of road closures that are in place this week while work is completed.
While some roads are fully closed, other roads have lane closures and temporary traffic measures in place due to roadworks, gas, or water works. Drivers are urged to make allowances for these closures and alter their travel arrangements if necessary.
Diversion routes may also be in place on various roads, so motorists are urged to see if any of the works on this list are likely to disrupt their journeys. These road closures are for the week starting from Monday, September 19 to Sunday, September 25.
