To keep important services like gas, water, electricity, and communications running, utility companies have a legal right to carry out roadworks so they can access their equipment and infrastructure.
We try to keep the time they spend working on the road as short as possible and confirm what traffic controls are in place. However, we don’t manage their schedules or how they carry out the work.

Report issues with roadworks
At every roadworks site, the utility company responsible must display a sign with their contact details that road users can see. If you have any questions or need to report a problem, we recommend contacting them directly.
If you’re unable to contact the utility company responsible for the works, or you can’t find details about certain roadworks using our online map or search function, please get in touch with us using the contact information on this page.
