Practical guide: check A71 updates before travelling
Today
Today shows loaded notices whose published dates may overlap the UK calendar day. Unknown schedules stay visible; it is not a live road check.
Overnight
Overnight is a 20:00–06:00 viewing window. Before 06:00 it covers last night into this morning. Date-only notices or permit ranges do not confirm nightly work, and midnight alone does not prove missing hours.
Next 7 days
Starts today and filters the same loaded records. It is not a complete works calendar; use more source pages only where this page offers them.
Read each notice for the location, restriction, authority, provider and legal details supplied. Roadworks and lane restrictions are not automatically full road closures. Follow signed diversions; map pins are not diversion routes.
Published dates, not on-road checks. A successful source check is separate from the dates supplied with each notice. If its check time is not supplied, we cannot tell when the list was last successfully checked.
The existing source request uses 14 days. A wider date view does not request more updates or guarantee coverage.
All dates and the overview cover 8 updates loaded on this page, not every disruption on the road. Dates alone cannot show whether work happens on every night in a long date range.
Exact selected window: Today · 2026-11-09 00:00 to 2026-11-10 00:00 (UK time). This is a viewing window, not promised working hours.
Your dates apply to the list and map. All dates shows every date in the updates already on this page. Your other filters still apply; it does not search further ahead.
Today and Tomorrow run from midnight to the next midnight in UK time. Overnight is your viewing window, not a promise of working hours. Dates without times are possible matches only; updates with missing schedule details stay visible separately.
