We maintain over 4,600 kilometres of road network across the county on behalf of our communities. This includes: 

  • 532 km of A-road network
  • 578 km of B-road network
  • 3,498 km of C and Unclassified Road network
  • In 2023, 5.1 billion vehicle miles were travelled in Cambridgeshire, an increase of over half a billion vehicle miles in ten years.
  • Over 40% of our network is built over peat soil which present unique challenges as it is structurally weak.
Road with two lanes with grass and bushes on both sides

The information here provides details on the planned repairs to roads that we will be undertaking throughout 2024 and 2025 across the county.

The scale and type of work will vary depending on the individual scheme and the repair being undertaken.

Most work will be delivered under a full road closure. This will cause disruption to the road network whilst 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 work on roads, planned in advance, we also continually do reactive road repairs across the whole county. These include pothole repairs and patching work, which is carried out on defects that we spot through routine inspection or if an issue has been reported by a member of the public. This helps keep the highways network running smoothly.

Planned work by district for 2024-2025

Updates are provided monthly by officers. Expand the district below to see when and where work will take place and road closures.

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.

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

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.

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.

Provided your speed is under 20mph, you can use a treated road approximately 20 minutes after a treatment product has been applied.

Please take care when using a newly laid road surface as some loose chippings are likely.

Please follow any temporary speed limits in place.

We can only lay road surface treatments in good weather. If the ground is still wet, it is raining, too hot or too cold for the surface treatment to be effective, we must postpone works until the weather conditions improve. This is to ensure the work is long-lasting and successful.

The schedule on this page is updated regularly to reflect any changes.

When choosing a route to use for diverted traffic, we use the same category or a higher category road as the temporarily closed road. This is to ensure the diversion route can cope with the same type of traffic as the temporarily closed road.

In certain rural locations, if there is no suitable alternative, we may have to divert using a lower category route. Please note that we only signpost approved diversion routes.

Sometimes, road users may choose to use an alternative local road. We do not have the powers to prevent highway users from using these alternative routes.
