Drivers planning on using the A30 further west in Cornwall are advised to allow a little extra time for their journeys over the next few weeks.

The A30 will be closed overnight between Chiverton Cross and the Boxheater junction, weeknights only (8pm to 6am) from Monday October 17 to Saturday October 22.

Further overnight closures will happen from Chiverton Cross to Carland Cross for five nights between Monday November 7 and Saturday November 12.

Diversions will be in place and signed on both occasions.

National Highways’ £330-million upgrade of the trunk road is expected to be complete by Winter 2023.
