Hillingdon road closures: six for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

Hillingdon's motorists will have six road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• M4, from 10pm December 9 to 5.30am December 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M4 eastbound, junction 5 to junction 4b, Lane closures for investigations.

• M4, from 10pm December 9 to 5.30am December 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M4 westbound, junction 3 to junction 4B, Lane closures investigation works.

• M4, from 8pm December 8 to 6am December 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M4 both directions, junction 5, slip road and lane closures for inspection work.

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

• M40, from 9.30pm December 15 to 5am December 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M40 southbound, junction 1a to junction 1, Lane closures for maintenance work.

• M40, from 10.15pm December 18 to 6am December 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M40 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane closures for maintenance works.

• M40, from 10.15pm December 21 to 6am December 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M40 southbound, junction 2 to junction 1, Lane closure for maintenance work.

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