A30 Weekend Closure 8pm Friday 26th April to 6am Monday 29th April

Motorists are advised to prepare for significant disruptions as the A30 will experience extensive road closures this weekend. National Highways has announced that a stretch of the A30 will be closed from 8pm on Friday, April 26, until 6am on Monday, April 29.

The closures will affect both eastbound and westbound lanes in segments between Scorrier and Boxheater and Boxheater to Chiverton.

Detailed Closure Information

• Eastbound Closure: The section between Scorrier and Boxheater will be closed to eastbound traffic.
• Westbound Closure: The section from Boxheater to Chiverton will be closed to westbound traffic.

Diversion Routes

To assist motorists, diversion routes have been established:

• Eastbound Diversion: Traffic will be rerouted via the B3277, A3075, and B3285.
• Westbound Diversion: Traffic will follow the B3285 and A3075, rejoining the A30 at Chiverton. This route avoids the low bridge at Scorrier, accommodating high-sided vehicles and HGVs.

Local Access Maintained

Access for local residents will be maintained throughout the weekend. The B3284 at Chybucca will remain open for north and southbound local traffic, ensuring minimal disruption to the immediate community.

Purpose of the Closures

The closures are scheduled for essential maintenance and upgrade works on the A30. Activities will include surfacing, the installation of bases for new signage, and other infrastructure enhancements.

Travel Advice

Motorists planning to travel along the A30 this weekend are urged to plan their journeys in advance and allow extra time for travel due to the expected delays. The detailed diversion information and clear signage will guide drivers along alternative routes to minimise inconvenience.

For more detailed traffic information and updates on the closures, travellers are encouraged to visit the National Highways website or contact their local information centre. Stay informed and plan ahead to navigate around these significant weekend closures.

As the project progresses, further information, including future closure dates and diversion routes, will be made available through the National Highways website, ensuring the public remains informed and prepared for upcoming travel adjustments.
