West Devon's motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers 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 one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A38, from 6pm January 2 to 5am December 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 Twelvewoods to M5, junction 31 mobile lane closures for drainage works.

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

• A30, from 7pm August 12 to 6am August 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A30 eastbound, Whiddon Down to Woodleigh lane closure for drainage works.

• A30, from 8pm August 19 to 6am August 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A30 eastbound, Okehampton to Sticklepath, lane closures for surveys.

• A30, from 7pm August 21 to 6am August 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A30 eastbound, Liftondown to Sourton Cross carriageway closure for road markings, diversion via Lifton, Lewdown and Bridestowe.

• A30, from 8pm August 21 to 6am August 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A30 both directions Whiddon Down to Okehampton, lane closures for surveys.

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