Seasonal Driving Leaflets
Helping you plan your journeys: roadwork planners, region by region.
To help you plan your journeys by road, we produce roadwork planners in leaflet form. These 6 leaflets each cover a region and are published four times a year. We hope the information in them will help you plan your journeys while we improve the road network. We may carry out some other roadworks at short notice, usually at quieter times (1000 to 1600 or 1900 to 0700). If you'd like the very latest information, use our real time traffic information service before you set out and allow extra time for planned roadwork.
Click on the links below for the current roadwork planners for each region.
