Plymouth roadworks this week taking place across the city
There are a raft of new roadworks starting this week in Plymouth. The schemes will impact on several roads in the city and are ones motorists need to be aware of before setting out on their journeys.
On Milehouse Road, for the next ten days, there will be four-way traffic at the Ford Hill/Molesworth Road junction. This is so CityFibre can carry out fibre cable works, with the traffic lights in operation 24 hours a day.
On Monday and Tuesday, on Tavistock Road, there will be one lane closed in each direction between William Prance Road and Sendalls Way. The closures are between 9.30am and 3pm and for signage works to be carried out.
On Wednesday, on the inbound approach to the Derriford Roundabout, one lane will be closed on approach to Brest Road between 9.30am and 2pm. And on Thursday night on Union Street, from 6.30pm to 10.30pm, outside Lidl, there will traffic lights in place while South West Highways carry out a bollard replacement.
Plymouth City Council has helpfully put out a list of roadworks that will be taking place across the city over the next week. The council is responsible for coordinating works carried out by utility companies, developers and other organisations as well as their own repair, maintenance and improvement works.
They maintain all public roads in Plymouth except the A38, which is managed by National Highways on behalf of the Department for Transport.
“We know there’s no good time to close roads, especially on busy routes and we do everything we can to co-ordinate planned works and minimise their impact on our transport network,” a City Council spokesman said.
The following roadworks are taking place in Plymouth between Monday 17 and Saturday 22 July.
