Here are some of the planned roadworks due to start in October. For details of all roadworks, head to our Roadworks webpage and view the live map.

There can be lots of reasons for road works including resurfacing, making repairs, improving layouts, and replacing traffic signage and markings.

Whatever the reason we aim to minimise disruption and complete work as efficiently as possible.
