Roadworks on the A1, A69 and A19 in Northumberland

But motorists 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 four closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A1, from 9am October 9 to 3.30pm October 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Warreners to Felton, Lane closures and stop go boards for drainage works.

• A1, from 8pm October 8 to 6am December 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Burgham, junction to West Moor, junction, traffic Lights and Convoy.

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

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