Roadworks lifted for Easter bank holiday

News Release issued by the COI News Distribution Service on 29 March 2010

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 per minute; call charges from other landlines and mobile networks may vary).

5. For more general information about the Highways Agency and its work, visit the Highways Agency website www.highways.gov.uk, or telephone the Highways Agency Information Line on 08457 50 40 30 at any time (Calls to 0845 numbers will cost no more than 4p per minute from BT residential landlines. Call charges from other landlines and mobile networks may vary).

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.
