BASINGSTOKE drivers will have six road closures to avoid 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 two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A34, from 8pm July 20 2022 to 6am May 13 2023, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A34 both directions Bullington to Whitchurch, Lane closures for barrier works.
