Major UK traffic restrictions and roadworks cause travel disruptions across multiple areas.

Traffic restrictions and roadworks are affecting several areas. In Fareham, Mayles Lane has a three-tonne gross weight limit because of a weak bridge, restricting truck traffic through August 2028. In Hitchin, works include temporary signals on Stevenage and Lonsdale roads, construction on Back Lane, a closure on Stevenage Road, and give-and-take traffic on Woolners Way. In Kings Langley, emergency repairs blocked eastbound Salisbury Road between The Avenue and Stapylton Road on September 24, with a detour in place for bus 384.
The three-tonne limit on Mayles Lane applies in both directions between Funtley Road and the Dean Villa turn-off, and is scheduled to begin on August 20, 2026.
In Hitchin, the Stevenage Road closure runs between Tower Close and Elms Close and is scheduled to last until October 15, 2026; separate temporary signals for emergency repairs and gas-main work are planned at Chantry Lane from September 25 to October 4.
Hitchin’s other works have specific locations and end dates: Lonsdale Road signals are at Archer Road through October 19, 2026, while Back Lane construction is at Crunnells Green through October 16, 2026.
The Kings Langley eastbound Salisbury Road blockage was scheduled to run from 8:46 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on September 24, 2026.
