Road Closure: NEWDIGATE STREET — Derby

Motorists in Derby are being advised to plan their journeys in advance as Newdigate Street in the city will be subject to roadworks from 25 August 2026 at 23:00 to 27 August 2026 at 22:59. The roadworks, which are being carried out by Derby City Council, are expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. Although the reason for the roadworks is minor, drivers are still likely to experience delays and should consider using alternative routes to avoid congestion.

Derby City Council has confirmed that the roadworks are necessary to carry out essential maintenance on Newdigate Street, and the council is working to minimise the impact on drivers. However, with the roadworks taking place during a busy period, drivers are advised to check traffic apps and plan their journeys carefully to avoid getting caught in traffic. The council is also urging drivers to consider using public transport or car-sharing to reduce the number of vehicles on the road and alleviate congestion.

During the roadworks, drivers can expect to encounter traffic management measures, including diversions and traffic signals. The roadworks will be carried out overnight, but drivers should still expect some disruption during the day, particularly during peak hours. Derby City Council is working to complete the roadworks as quickly as possible, but drivers should be prepared for delays and plan their journeys accordingly.

To avoid getting caught in traffic, drivers are advised to use alternative routes, such as navigating through the city centre or using the outer ring road. Drivers can also use traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, to get real-time traffic updates and plan their journeys accordingly. Additionally, drivers can check the Derby City Council website for updates on the roadworks and plan their journeys in advance.

Derby City Council is apologising for any inconvenience the roadworks may cause and is working to minimise the impact on drivers. The council is also urging drivers to be patient and considerate of other road users during the roadworks. With the roadworks taking place over a busy period, drivers are advised to plan their journeys carefully and consider using alternative routes to avoid congestion.
