It may be 2025. And there are a handful of roadworks schemes in Plymouth which will begin in the first week of the New Year.
After a Christmas break where no works began, three schemes get underway on Thursday, January 2. In Bedford Park, Clifton Place, and Providence Street, parking restrictions are in place when Wales and West Utilities start gas main works.
Plymouth City Council has helpfully put out a list of roadworks that will be taking place across the city over the next week. The council is responsible for coordinating works carried out by utility companies, developers and other organisations as well as their own repair, maintenance and improvement works.
They maintain all public roads in Plymouth except the A38, which is managed by National Highways on behalf of the Department for Transport.
“We know there’s no good time to close roads, especially on busy routes and we do everything we can to co-ordinate planned works and minimise their impact on our transport network,” a City Council spokesman said.
The following roadworks are taking place in Plymouth between Thursday January 2 and Saturday 4 January.
