Ryedale's motorists will have six 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 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: • A64, from 8pm February 20 to 6am May 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A64 eastbound and westbound, Claxton, traffic signals for drainage works.

And a further five closures will begin over the next seven days: • A64, from 9.30am May 2 to 3.30pm June 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A64 eastbound and westbound, Hopgrove to Seamer, mobile lane closure for general cleaning and maintenance works.

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