There are 27 new roadworks schemes which are set to get under way in Plymouth this week. These are in addition to works which are already ongoing across the city.
On Wolseley Road this week, there are two-way signals at Harbour Avenue junction, 9.30am to 3.30pm. This is for footway works being carried out by Plymouth City Council.
On Wednesday and Thursday, Plymbridge Road will be closed between Plymbridge Woods car park and Novorossiysk Road, 8am to 5pm. This is for tree works being carried out.
And on Thursday and Friday on Crownhill Road, there will be three-way signals at Budshead Road junction, 9.30am to 3.30pm, for underground cabling works.
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 Saturday 16 and Saturday 23 November.
