Roadworks removed across the county in time for Bank Holiday Weekend

More than 90 miles of roadworks in the south east are being removed from motorways and major roads across the county this weekend, to help bank holiday trips go smoothly.

Highways England always removes as many roadworks as possible at busy times, and will complete or lift 177 sets of roadworks for the late August getaway.

Roadworks will be removed wherever possible by 6am on Friday 28 August

Simon Sheldon-Wilson, director of customer operations at Highways England, said, “To help road users enjoy this bank holiday weekend, we’re completing or suspending more than 400 miles of roadworks on motorways and major trunk roads. But we’re still asking people to play their part by planning their journeys and making use of the traffic information services we provide.”
