Roadworks planned on the A1 in Northumberland with drivers warned to expect delays of up to 30 minutes

Northumberland's motorists will have 22 sets of roadworks to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing holdups of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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

• A1, from 8am August 15 to 4.30pm August 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Brownieside Duals, lane closures for maintenance works.
