A38 daytime lane closures for surveys (Sunday 25 Jan) from Tamar Bridge roundabout to Forder Valley

Significant delays are expected so please:  

o   consider using alternative routes   

o   If you choose to travel, plan ahead and allow plenty of time for journeys 

 We understand lane closures can be frustrating. These surveys need to be undertaken during daylight hours. We’ll be working at the weekend as this is when there’s the least amount of traffic on the road. By working this way, we can complete the surveys as safely and efficiently as possible, with overall less disruption to the travelling public. 
 

This work is subject to favourable weather conditions. If we’re unable to complete our work as planned, we may need to return to complete the surveys at a later date.
