The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A627(M), from 9pm March 28 to 5am May 29, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A663 northbound, from Middleton Road to A627M carriageway closure for Sign Erection.
