UK Road Closed: National Highways

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly as a section of the Strategic Road Network is set to close overnight in Cambridgeshire. The closure will take place on an unknown road, located near National Highways Closure — 513862, and is approximately 10 miles southeast of the nearest city, Cambridge. The closure is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, 09 August 2026 at 02:00 and is expected to last until 04:00 on the same day, with National Highways being the responsible highway authority for this Strategic Road Network.

The overnight closure has been put in place due to National Highways' ongoing maintenance work, aimed at improving the overall safety and efficiency of the road network. Motorists are urged to take note of the scheduled closure and make necessary arrangements to avoid this section of the road during the specified period. The closure may cause significant delays and disruptions, especially during peak hours, and drivers are advised to check for alternative routes before embarking on their journeys.

Those planning to travel through this area on Tuesday morning are recommended to check traffic updates and utilise alternative routes to avoid the closed section of the road. Utilising traffic apps or checking the National Highways website for up-to-date information can help motorists plan their journeys more effectively and make informed decisions about their travel times. Additionally, drivers may want to consider leaving earlier than usual to account for potential delays and congestion caused by the closure.

National Highways' Transport Data Feeds provide real-time traffic information, allowing drivers to make informed decisions about their journeys. This data is also used to inform transportation decisions and help plan for roadworks and maintenance. As part of its ongoing efforts to improve the Strategic Road Network, National Highways is committed to keeping drivers informed about roadworks and closures.

Residents and businesses in the area are also advised to plan their activities accordingly, taking into account the potential disruption caused by the overnight closure. The scheduled closure is part of National Highways' ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the Strategic Road Network, and the authority will work to ensure that the necessary work is completed as efficiently as possible.

Motorists are advised to check the National Highways website or follow the organisation's social media accounts for the latest updates on roadworks and closures.
