South Hams'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 five closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A38, from 7pm April 8 to 5am April 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 westbound, Marley Head to South Brent lane closure for drainage works.

• A38, from 7pm April 9 to 6am April 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 westbound, Lee Mill exit and entry slip road closures for horticultural works, exit slip diversion via A38 westbound to Deep Lane and return, entry slip diversion via A38 eastbound to Ivybridge.

• A38, from 8pm April 10 to 4am April 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 eastbound, Drybridge lane closure for barrier repairs.

• A38, from 8pm April 11 to 4am April 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 westbound, Deep Lane lane closure for barrier repairs.

• A38, from 7pm April 22 to 6am April 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 westbound, Smithaleigh entry slip road closure for horticultural works, diversion via New Park Road and Moorland Road to Lee Mill,.

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