Doncaster road closures: almost a dozen for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

And three of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing holdups of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• M18, from 9pm October 8 to 5am November 4, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M18 southbound, junction 4 to junction 3, carriageway closure for carriageway repair works, diversion via local authority and National Highways networks.

And a further seven closures will begin over the next two weeks:

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