Drivers around Grantham area to suffer road closures over the next fortnight

Drivers around Grantham will have 10 National Highways road closures to watch out for next week as well as major local council works in the town.

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 two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:
