Hundreds of miles of roadworks to be lifted over King's Coronation weekend

Hundreds of miles of roadworks on England's motorways and main roads will be lifted over King Charles' Coronation weekend.

National Highways said more than 96 per cent of motorways and A roads will be free from roadworks over the Bank Holiday. The works will be removed from roads in the south east by 6am on Thursday, May 4 and by 6am on Friday, May 5 elsewhere across the country.

They will not be put back in place until 12.01am on Tuesday, May 9, transport bosses said. Routes towards London are expected to be extremely busy over the Coronation weekend, particularly on the M40, M1 and M4.
