Impact on residents and diversion advice
The closures could cause traffic disruption for residents who may need to find an alternative route to reach their destination. While some closures will only last a matter of days, others will see roads shut for weeks or even months at a time.
Residents are advised to look out for diversion routes to avoid facing substantial disruptions. The LDRS compiled the list from one.network, which tracks ongoing and planned roadworks across the UK.
All closures are subject to change depending on the progress of the works and weather conditions. Motorists in the affected areas should plan their journeys in advance and follow signed diversion routes.
