Work progressing on dualling of A30 at Temple: bridges being installed

Highways England is dualling the single carriageway on the A30 between Temple and Higher Carblake, just east of Bodmin. The length of road involved is 2.8 miles (4.5km). Three busy road junctions will be replaced by three overbridges; one bridge at either end at Cardinham and Temple junctions and one relatively centre at Preeze Cross/Four Winds. The dual carriageway is being constructed literally alongside the existing road and traffic management is a key element of the project.

There will be overnight road closures between 17th and 21 July to allow for the bridge construction work.

As from Friday 22 July, there will be 3 lanes in operation which should ease the congestion on the busy Friday and Saturdays in the summer months.

The whole scheme is scheduled for completion in spring 2017.
