Plymouth roadworks this week to be aware of
by Daniel Clark · PlymouthLivePlymouth will see 27 new roadworks schemes starting this week. The schemes are in addition to schemes already ongoing and include work on busy roads.
They include on Wednesday night, one lane on Plymouth Road will be closed from Laira Flyover bus stop to opposite speed camera from 7pm to 11pm. This is for patch repairs on the inbound carriageway.
On Thursday, one lane will be closed on slip road from Marsh Mills to Leigham Roundabout, 9.30am to 3pm. This is for Sewer cleaning work from South West Water.
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.
