Annual maintenance work is being carried out on the A30 starting tonight (7 November).

It's between the Chiverton and Carland Cross roundabouts.

The road will be closed overnight until Saturday (12 November) to carry out maintenance, vegetation clearance and gully cleaning.

During the overnight closures, between 8pm and 6am nightly, eastbound traffic will be diverted via the newly reopened A3075 to Quintrell Downs and the A3058 to rejoin the A30 at Summercourt. Westbound traffic will follow the same diversion, while Newquay-bound traffic from Truro can also follow the A39, A3076 and A3058.

Neil Winter, National Highways’ Senior Project Manager for the A30 scheme, said: “We are keeping disruption to an absolute minimum by carrying out the work overnight when traffic levels are lower.

“We understand roadworks can be frustrating, the closures are required to enable the annual autumn maintenance work and we’ve communicated the overnight closures in advance to local communities and businesses.

“We thank people in advance for their co-operation and patience, and in the meantime, we advise drivers to plan ahead and allow a little extra time for their journeys during this work.”
