Plymouth: Cunliffe Ave Closed

Plymouth residents and commuters are advised to plan their journeys in advance as Cunliffe Avenue in Plymouth will be closed to traffic from 15:00 on 12 August 2026 to 22:00 on 13 August 2026. The closure has been imposed by Plymouth City Council, which will be undertaking major works on the road during this period.

The works are expected to cause medium-level disruption to traffic, and drivers are urged to use alternative routes to avoid the area. Motorists are advised to check traffic apps and websites for up-to-date information on the road closure and any subsequent diversions. This will help minimise delays and ensure a smooth journey.

Cunliffe Avenue is a key route in Plymouth, and the closure is likely to affect traffic flowing in and out of the city. Drivers who rely on the road for their daily commute are advised to plan their journeys in advance, allowing extra time for travel. Those who can avoid the area altogether are encouraged to do so, as the closure is expected to cause congestion on surrounding roads.

Those who need to travel through the area are advised to follow the recommended diversion routes, which will be clearly signposted. It is essential to follow the instructions of traffic management staff and to drive safely through the area. Pedestrians and cyclists are also advised to be aware of the road closure and to follow any alternative routes provided.

The highway authority has assured that the works are necessary to improve the road infrastructure in the area and will result in a safer and more efficient journey for all users. While the closure may cause some inconvenience, it is expected to be a temporary measure, and the road will reopen once the works are complete.

Plymouth City Council will be working closely with traffic management teams to ensure that the road closure is implemented smoothly and that traffic flows as normally as possible. Motorists are advised to exercise patience and to plan their journeys accordingly.
