Here are some of the planned roadworks due to start in May. For details of all roadworks, head to our Roadworks webpage and view the live maps.
There can be lots of reasons for road works including resurfacing, making repairs, improving layouts, and replacing traffic signage and markings.
We also support other organisations to carry out essential works, for example utilities companies whose pipes and wires run under the roads and developers who need to change road access to complete works.
Whatever the reason we aim to minimise disruption and complete work as efficiently as possible.
