Cornwall Council has planned work 'imminently' to repair a number of roads along the A39. Part of the work will be carried out on the 'deteriorating' roads around Truro next week, with further repairs scheduled for next month.
It said the roadworks are needed as a result of recent weather conditions which have caused some key routes to deteriorate faster than usual. The increased traffic due to diversions and vehicles avoiding the works on the A30 are also said to have further worsened the situation.
Some critical areas affected include Green Bottom and Sticken Bridge on the A39 near the Norway Inn, Higher Town near Waitrose and the A39 near to Playing Place, as well as other areas on the diversion routes, like thew A393 in Lanner.
An update on the situation shared by the council said: "While we have the necessary resources to carry out repairs, accessing these locations is highly challenging, given the ongoing A30 works and other statutory undertakers working on these routes.
"However, we have work planned imminently, with Sticken Bridge on the A39 scheduled for March 18 and the A39 Playing Place planned for April 29. To facilitate the repairs in Playing Place, we will swap our routine maintenance operations to address the surfacing as an emergency."
