Road Closure: BURTON ROAD — Derby

A significant roadworks project is set to disrupt traffic on Burton Road in Woodville, near Derby, from 20 November 2026 to 19 November 2028. The medium-severity roadworks, which are being carried out by Derbyshire County Council, are scheduled to last for nearly two years, and drivers are advised to plan their journeys accordingly. The section of Burton Road affected by the roadworks will be closed to allow for essential maintenance and upgrades, which fall under Section 58 regulations.

Derbyshire County Council has planned the roadworks to ensure the long-term safety and durability of the road, but it is likely to cause inconvenience to drivers who regularly use Burton Road. The council has not provided a detailed breakdown of the roadworks schedule, but it is expected that the road will be closed to traffic for the majority of the time. Drivers who normally use Burton Road are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays and congestion. Using satnav or traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps can help drivers navigate the diversion and plan their journeys more efficiently.

The roadworks on Burton Road are part of Derbyshire County Council's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the county's road network.
