Lifting roadworks for August Bank Holiday (23 - 26 August)

We'll lift more than 500 miles of roadworks to ease journeys for thousands of motorists travelling over the August 2024 Bank Holiday.  

Almost 97% of the network will be free from roadworks over the long weekend,  as motorists travel across the country to enjoy the last of the summer.

We'll remove roadworks on Friday 23 August at 6am and put them back in place from midnight 00.01am on Tuesday 27 August.

Have a safe T.R.I.P

Ahead of the Bank Holiday, make sure you have a safe T.R.I.P (top-up, rest, inspect and prepare).
