DRIVERS in and around Basingstoke and Deane will have six National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And two of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A303, from 8pm April 8 to 6am July 6, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A34 both directions M3, junction 9 to Three Maids Hill, carriageway closures for resurfacing work.

• A303, from 10pm May 19 to 5am September 9, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A34 both directions Bullington Cross to Wash Common, carriageway closure for National Grid works.

And a further four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A303, from 8pm June 10 to 6am June 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A303 eastbound, Micheldever, slip road and lane closures for drainage work.

• A303, from 8pm June 12 to 6am June 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M3 southbound, junction 7, slip road and lane closures for litter clearance.

• A303, from 8pm June 17 to 6am June 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A303 westbound, Micheldever, slip road and lane closures for signage work.

• A34, from 8pm June 17 to 6am June 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A34 both directions Bullington to Whitchurch, Lane closures for maintenance works.

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