Teignbridge's motorists will have two 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 both of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A38, from 8pm August 6 to 4am August 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 eastbound, Harcombe Cross to Splatford split, lane closure for emergency barrier repairs.

• A38, from 8pm August 16 to 4am August 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 eastbound, Harcombe - lane closure for barrier/fence safety repairs.

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