Derbyshire drivers warned of road closures this week

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

• A38, from 8pm January 30 to 6am January 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 29a to junction 28, slip road and lane closure due to maintenance works.
