DRIVERS in and around Allerdale will have four National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

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.

• A595, from 5am December 7 to 8pm December 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A595 northbound and southbound, Lillyhall roundabout to Dobies roundabout, Lane closure for SU works (UU).

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

• A66, from 10am to 3pm on December 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A66 eastbound and westbound, Workington to Stainburn Roundabout, traffic signals for Installation of double yellow lines.

• A66, from 9am December 13 to 4.30pm December 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A66 eastbound and westbound, Keswick to Cockermouth, traffic signals for Guardrail and Fence Repairs.

• A66, from 8pm December 14 to 5am December 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A66 eastbound and westbound, Bassenthwaite Lake, Lane closures and carriageway closure for Repairs to boundary wall on offside of carriageway following RTC.
