MOTORISTS are being warned of more delays during upcoming closures on the A38.

The southbound route will be shut each night between Hilliard's Cross and the Swinfen Interchange from 12th to 22nd October.

The closure is to allow emergency drainage works, installation of kerbs and signage, and to carry out pavement investigations safely.

The works will also see the southbound slip road at Streethay closed from 9pm to 5am each night from 26th to 30th October.
