Road users
travelling on the 9534 carriageway miles of England’s motorways
and major A roads over the Easter bank holiday will benefit from
the suspension or completion of 60% of roadworks by the Highways
Agency to help drivers make smoother journeys over the Easter weekend.
A total of 74 sets of roadworks are due to be completed and a
further 60 are due to be suspended before 06:00 on Thursday 1
April. Roadworks at 40 locations will remain in place for the
safety of drivers and their passengers.
During the 2009-10 financial year, the Highways Agency has been
delivering its usual programme of maintenance and improvements to
the strategic road network as well as delivering the
Government's fiscal stimulus initiative, which brought
forward some £400m of additional investment in the road network as
part of a wider package of measures to help kick start the UK
economy and help secure jobs in the construction industry.
By carrying out this work, there have been more roadwork schemes
on the Motorways and major A roads than in previous years as the
funding has enabled the early commencement of a number of schemes
to facilitate the delivery of the managed motorways programme and
bring forward other major improvements. Despite experiencing
delays to roadworks caused by the most prolonged and severe winter
in the UK for the last 30 years, the Highways Agency is committed
to keeping any disruption caused by these improvements to an
absolute minimum which is why we are lifting 60% of roadworks this Easter.
The move is part of the Highways Agency’s commitment to ease
congestion, helping drivers to make their journeys safely and reliably.
For many areas of the country, this Thursday sees the start of
the school holidays and the Easter bank holiday weekend. This
means that fewer families will be able to plan an early getaway
and more people can be expected on the roads on Thursday evening
and during Good Friday.
Derek Turner, the Highways Agency’s Director for Network Delivery
and Development, said:
“Over the Easter bank holiday, many people will be using our
motorways and major A roads to begin their family holiday or get
away for a long weekend.
“We wish to thank road users for their patience while we have
been delivering these additional works which have been part of the
Government’s package of measures to help secure jobs in the
construction industry. We wish to reassure the travelling public
that the Highways Agency is lifting as many roadworks as is safe
and practical to do so for this Easter bank holiday.
“Removing roadworks is just one way we help road users during
bank holidays. Our Traffic Officer Service will be on patrol and
working in our control centres to help traffic flow smoothly and
we will continue to provide up to the minute journey planning
advice though our website, electronic road signs and the media.”
Roadworks and lane restrictions will be removed by 06:00 on
Thursday 1 April and will not be put back before 00:01 on Tuesday
6 April
The list of remaining, suspended and completed roadworks is
included after notes to editors.
Notes to Editors
1. The Highways Agency is an executive agency of the Department
for Transport. We manage, maintain and improve England’s motorways
and major A roads on behalf of the Secretary of State.
2. Carriageway miles are the distance of carriageway in both
directions. For example on a 5 mile stretch of motorway, there are
10 carriageway miles. This measure is used for calculating
roadwork lengths as some works take place in one direction only.
3. We plan maintenance and improvement projects carefully to
allow works to be completed safely, in a cost effective way while
keeping disruption to road users to a minimum. We do as much work
as possible overnight and when roads are less busy in order to
keep more lanes open for road users at peak travel times. Drivers
are advised to check their route for road works and allow extra
time for their journeys where needed. We have a variety of journey
planning tools that road users can use to check travel conditions
on the roads we manage, and we will do all we can to keep road
users informed.
4. Real-time traffic information for England’s motorways and
major A roads is available:
- From our Traffic Radio service,
available on DAB digital radio and the internet at www.trafficradio.org.uk
To tune into the DAB service, simply press the
"scan" button on your radio. The radio will tune
into all available channels and you can select the new service by
scrolling through the channels until you reach "Traffic
Radio".
- From the web at www.highways.gov.uk/traffic
or www.highways.gov.uk/mobile
if using a phone or mobile device.
Before using any mobile,
find a safe place to park. Never stop on the hard shoulder of a
motorway except in an emergency. Make sure it’s safe and legal
before you call.
- By phone from the Highways Agency 24-hour
voice activated phone service on 08700 660 115. (Calls from BT
residential landlines to 0870 numbers will cost no more than 8p

Safety at roadworks
The Highways Agency is working with the industry and road users
to reduce the risks of working on the roads. For the safety of
road workers and all road users, when you are approaching roadworks:
- Keep within the speed limit – it is there for your
safety.
- Get into the correct lane in good time – don’t keep
switching.
- Concentrate on the road ahead, not the
roadworks.
- Be alert for works’ traffic leaving or entering
roadworks.
- Keep a safe distance – there could be queues in
front.
- Observe all signs – they are there to help you.
