National Highways is lifting more than 700 miles of roadworks over the Coronation weekend of His Majesty King Charles III to help motorists enjoy smoother journeys. More than 96 per cent of England’s motorway and major A road network will be free from roadworks over the holiday period.
The roadworks will be removed from National Highways roads in the Southeast of the country by 6am on Thursday 4 May and elsewhere across the country by 6am on Friday 5 May. The roadworks will not be put back in place until 12.01am on Tuesday 9 May.
With tens of thousands of people expected to descend on London for the special occasion, National Highways will be removing roadworks where possible to help keep traffic moving. Routes heading towards London such as the M40, M1 and M4 are expected to be busy with 11 miles of roadworks on the M1 around Hemel Hempstead and Dunstable removed in time for the Coronation weekend.
