When we’re working on the highways, our contractors need to manage the traffic to keep everyone safe. This will involve using temporary ‘stop/go’ boards, traffic lights and some short-term road closures.
Our contractors put up advance notice signs to let local road users know of any traffic restrictions and road closures.
We have agreed the following timings with the local highway authority.
| Location | Duration | Description of works | Traffic management in place | Map view |
| A38 at Tarnock | 12 October – 13 November 2026 | Reinstatement works involving the removal of a temporary access point on the A38 at Tarnock to restore the area to its original condition. | Two-way temporary traffic lights will be in place for four weeks, from 12 October to 13 November 2026. The traffic lights will remain in place outside of working hours. A Traffic Management Operative (TMO) will also be on site during working hours, Monday to Friday, from 7:30am to 6pm, to monitor and manage traffic flow. Timings and dates may change due to adverse weather or unforeseen circumstances. Keep checking this page for updates. | View map |
