B3257 Closed: Callington Roadworks

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys carefully as essential maintenance work is scheduled to take place on the B3257 between Station Road and Monks Cross in Callington, Plymouth. The works are expected to commence on 12 August 2026 at 06:30 and are anticipated to be completed by 14 August 2026 at 16:00.

Cornwall Council, the local highway authority, has organised the work in an effort to improve the road's condition. Although the disruption is deemed minor, drivers are urged to exercise caution when navigating the area. The roadworks will have a moderate impact on traffic flow, and drivers are advised to use alternative routes to avoid congestion.

Motorists are encouraged to check traffic apps and websites for up-to-date information on traffic conditions before embarking on their journeys.

Those who are unfamiliar with the area may wish to consider using a mapping service to find the most suitable alternative routes.

During the works, access to properties and businesses along the B3257 will be maintained as far as possible. However, it may be necessary to temporarily close a section of the road to facilitate the maintenance work. In such instances, local authorities will provide clear signage and diversions to ensure that motorists are aware of the alternative routes.

It is essential for drivers to be mindful of the road conditions during this period and to be prepared for potential delays. Those who are able to, are recommended to avoid the area altogether and plan their journeys for outside of the works schedule.
