MOTORISTS in Ryedale will have three 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:

• A64, from 8pm January 16 to 5am February 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A64 eastbound and westbound, Rillington, traffic signals for general cleaning and maintenance.

• A64, from 8pm January 9 to 6am February 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A64 eastbound and westbound, Sherburn, traffic signals for carriageway improvements.

• A64, from 8pm January 3 to 6am March 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A64 eastbound and westbound, Rillington, traffic signals for carriageway improvements.

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