Traffic warning in Plymouth as roadworks set to cause disruption

Drivers are being warned to expect delays in Plymouth as a number of roadworks take place.

Tavistock Road and Embankment Road are among areas set to face disruption and closures on Forder Valley Road have also been reintroduced after traffic lights sparked chaos there last week.

Plymouth City Council said it made the "difficult decision" close the road a day after it reopened after they "miscalculated" its timings.

As such the stretch between Novorossiysk Road and Fort Austin Avenue remains shut.

Schemes along the A38 – which is managed by Highways England – will also continue to cause disruption.

The longest road closure will be on the eastbound link towards the hospital in Morlaix Drive which will last until Tuesday 10 January 2023.
