A30 Cornwall overnight closures cancelled

A flyover will be built at Chiverton Cross

A series of planned overnight closures to the A30 in Cornwall have been cancelled.

The road closures between the Chiverton and Boxheater junctions had been scheduled to take place between 21 - 25 August.

But work in the area will now take place using overnight temporary traffic lights instead, a National Highways spokesperson said.

The next weekend closure is scheduled for 15-18 September.

The roadworks are part of a £330m project to convert the section of the A30 from Carland Cross to Chiverton Cross into a dual carriageway.
