NINE road closures are set to hit Wychavon across the next fortnight. 

Motorists have been warned to avoid nine roads on the National Highways network over the next two weeks.

Two of these are also expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing waits of 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

Around five of the closures have already been put in place this week.
