We maintain 1,000 of kilometres of drains and over 108,000 gullies across the county on behalf of our communities.
The information here provides details on the planned repairs to drainage systems across the county.
The scale and type of work will vary depending on the individual scheme and the repair being undertaken.
Most of our work will be delivered either under a full road closure or local traffic management system, such as traffic lights. This will cause disruption to the road network while we are on site. We will keep disruption to a minimum and we appreciate your cooperation during these critical works.
As well as the large-scale drain work, planned in advance, we also continually do reactive work across the whole county in response to issues that arise. This includes cyclical gully maintenance. By doing this, we keep the drain network flowing and identify any issues that need further investigation and repair.
We also regularly empty and clean gullies and pipes when they become blocked. We do this when we have identified a problem needing to be fixed through our routine inspections or when an issue is reported by a member of the public.
Planned work by district
Updates are provided monthly by officers. Expand the district to see details of when and where the work will take place, and details of road closures and diversion routes.
Whilst we aim to be as accurate as possible with the below times and dates, there are instances where these may change at short notice.
Our 2025/26 programme currently does not include any capital maintenance work here, but other reactive highways repairs are always being delivered. Find out more in FAQs.
Drainage projects
Planned works include repairs to existing drainage pipe and laying sections of new pipe. Plus installing new drainage systems, gullies, and manholes.

Roadwork and traffic information
Our interactive map gives you more detail on the latest roadworks, road closures and diversions. Works listed on this page are included.
Visit our road and traffic information page to access the map and instructions on how to use. Details of upcoming roadworks in PDF format are also provided.
The map uses data from Causeway one.network. Enter your road name and see the types of work happening today or in the next two weeks, three or twelve months.
You can also follow us on X (formerly Twitter) for updates on where we are working - @Cambs_Traffic
Can't find what you are looking for?
If you are unable to find a scheme on this page, it may be part of our reactive or cyclical maintenance programmes.
These works are more area based and include gully cleansing, road patching and public rights of way maintenance.
You can find out more about the county-wide road resurfacing programme on our Road improvements page.
FAQ
Please read through our frequently asked questions. If you are unable to find the answer please contact us.
The work area is the section of the road where our operatives will be working. The road closure area often extends beyond this to manage through traffic and divert it on to an alternative route. This helps us do the work quickly and efficiently, while keeping residents, road users and the workforce safe.
If you receive information notifying you about a road closure, we will include a map which indicates both the work and road closure areas if these are different.
As the work involves heavy plant and equipment, we cannot guarantee you will be able to access your property without having to wait or access via the other end of the works.
If you normally drive into or out of the work area during the hours when the closure is in place, we may ask you to please make alternative arrangements.
We will often phase works to try to reduce the disruption this can cause, and the site team will be available to communicate with residents and businesses regarding this.
We will always maintain access to properties if it is safe to do so. Delays will sometimes be unavoidable when we must move machinery or equipment out of the way. We thank you for your patience and cooperation while this is done.
Work is phased to allow property access from at least one end of the road. Access may differ, depending on where we are working.
We place advance warning signs at the starting points of our works at least 14 days before the work starts.
We will inform residents and businesses which are located with the area of work, via letter or leaflet drop, at least 14 days in advance of work starting, wherever possible.
We try to keep noise to a minimum, and plan noisier working activities for earlier on in shifts where we are working at night in residential areas. However, the work is being delivered using heavy plant and machinery and this will cause noise and disruption whilst the work is on site, especially where we are working overnight. To try to limit this we:
- Consider alternative ways of working, for example during the day, instead of night, when working in residential areas at the weekend.
- Working reduced hours overnight. This approach often means a longer delivery programme, whereas working longer shifts will result in the work being completed quicker.
- Working during the day whenever we can to reduce costs and disruption to residents during unsociable hours.
