Weekend closure for part of Cornwall's A30

The A30 is due to be fully reopened to traffic in June

Part of the A30 in Cornwall is closed until Monday as work continues to upgrade the road between Chiverton and Carland Cross.

The latest closure is to allow drainage, central reservation and bridge work.

The road is closed between Chiverton and Boxheater until 06:00 GMT on Monday with traffic diversions in place.

The £330m project to dual the A30 is due to be completed in June.

On Monday, drivers are being warned of a new road layout at the Carland Cross roundabout, to allow further upgrade work.

Neil Winter, National Highways' senior project manager for the A30 scheme, said: "We're continuing to progress the scheme, and the weekend closure will enable us to move further forward with essential drainage and structural work.

"Drivers will also see a new layout at Carland Cross, it's not a significant change, but we thank people in advance for their co-operation and patience."

The project, which began in 2020, is being partly funded by an £8m contribution from the European Regional Development Fund, with an additional £12m for the construction phase.

The remainder of the cost is being funded by central government.
