A2 maintenance is scheduled for this week, potentially causing delays and diversions for drivers.

These closures are part of a planned maintenance effort to boost road safety and infrastructure.

Drivers are forewarned that diversions and delays might accompany these crucial works.

National Highways, responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, does not oversee smaller road shutdowns.
