But drivers 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 four closures are due to start this week:

• A1, from 8pm May 22 to 5am May 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Winthorpe to North Muskham, Lane closures for maintenance repairs.

• A1, from 8pm May 23 to 5am May 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, North Muskham to Cromwell, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• A1, from 7am to 4pm on May 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, North Muskham, Footway working for works being undertaken on behalf of STW.

• A1, from 8pm June 5 to 6am June 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Vicarage lane, temporary traffic signals for electrical works.

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