Road closures: four for Hillingdon drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Hillingdon 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.

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

• M4, from 8pm December 8 2023 to 6am January 13 2024, 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 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 19 to 6am December 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M40 southbound, junction 2 to junction 1, Lane closure for maintenance work.

• 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.
