Heads up, lorry drivers! The A38 is set to close between Hilliard’s Cross and Swinfen Island from 9pm on Friday 27 March until 5am on Wednesday 8 April. Heavy goods vehicles will be banned from this stretch during the shutdown.
Major Diversions in Force
All HGVs must take a detour via the A5, A42, and A50. These alternative routes are designed to steer clear of narrow local roads and weak bridges, keeping big rigs safe and sound.
Follow the Signs or Face the Chaos
Highways England warns drivers to stick to diversion signs. It’s the best way to ensure a quick, safe trip and avoid gridlock on the roads.
