Road Closure: TATENHILL LANE — Derby

Motorists in the Derby area are advised to plan ahead as Tatenhill Lane in Branston will be closed due to roadworks from 09 November 2026 at 00:00 to 04 December 2026 at 00:00. The closure, which is being carried out by Staffordshire County Council, is expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. Drivers who regularly use Tatenhill Lane should consider using alternative routes to avoid delays, and those who are unsure of the best route to take can check traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps for up-to-date information.

Staffordshire County Council has announced that the roadworks are major and will require a full closure of the road for the duration of the works. While the council has not provided detailed information on the nature of the roadworks, it is likely that they will involve significant repairs or upgrades to the road surface. The council has advised drivers to allow extra time for their journeys and to consider using public transport or car-sharing where possible.

Drivers who need to travel through the area during the closure can use alternative routes such as the A38 or the A50, which run parallel to Tatenhill Lane. However, these routes are likely to be busier than usual, so drivers should check traffic conditions before setting out. It is also a good idea to check for updates on traffic apps or websites, such as the Staffordshire County Council website, which provides information on roadworks and traffic disruptions across the county.

The closure of Tatenhill Lane is likely to cause some disruption to local businesses and residents, who may need to find alternative routes to access their properties or premises. However, the roadworks are necessary to ensure that the road remains safe and well-maintained, and the council has apologised for any inconvenience that the closure may cause.

In order to stay up-to-date with the latest information on the closure, drivers can check the Staffordshire County Council website or follow them on social media. They can also check Road Closures UK for information on road closures and disruptions across the UK.
