BASINGSTOKE and Deane's motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network over the next two weeks. 

And three 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 August 3, 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 three closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A303, from 8pm July 24 to 6am July 27, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A34 southbound, Tot Hill to Bullington, carriageway closure for maintenance works.

• M3, from 8pm August 1 to 6am August 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M3 both directions, junction 7 to junction 8, lane closures for technology work.

• A34, from 8pm August 2 to 6am August 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A34 both directions Bullington to Whitchurch, lane closures for maintenance work.

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