Upcoming works on the A30 at Plusha

We will shortly be replacing the temporary barriers on the A30 at Plusha and installing a new, stronger barrier system. We will also be carrying out kerbing, improving road signs and painting new road markings. This is not the final, permanent solution for this stretch of road, but it will help improve safety for road users.

To carry out this work safely we will need the following traffic management in place:

• From 8pm on Sunday 16 March until 6am on Monday 17 March. The A30 westbound will be closed for one night between Kennards House and Five Lanes. Westbound through traffic will be diverted via the A395 on to the A39. Then join the A389 towards Bodmin before rejoining the A30.

• From 8pm on Sunday 16 March for five days. Eastbound traffic will not be able to turn right at Plusha towards Callington via the B3257. The central reservation crossover will be closed 24/7 for those five days. Well signed diversions will be in place, via Kennards House junction

• From Monday 17 until Friday 28 March, inclusive. Lane restrictions will be in place 24/7 along the A30 between Two Bridges and Five Lanes. One lane will remain open in each direction for the duration of the works.

Slip roads will remain open.

The current 50mph speed restriction will remain in place for the duration of these works. It will return to 70mph once works are complete.

As with any project, dates are subject to change. This work is subject to favourable weather conditions, for example heavy rain may affect the progress. If we’re unable to complete our work as planned, we may need to continue beyond the dates stated above.

Please plan ahead and allow extra time for your journeys.

We'll do all that we can to keep disruption to a minimum. However, we apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England website.

In September 2024, we unveiled plans to implement a suite of safety measures along the A30 between Kennards House and Five Lanes and we’re currently reviewing all feedback received.
