A391 North East Distributor Resurfacing Project Update from Cornwall Highways 

Current progress We are pleased to report that the resurfacing is progressing well and remains on schedule for completion on 30 May. 

In the coming week, our attention will turn to resurfacing the roundabouts, beginning with the Bethel roundabout, and moving north towards Scredda. We understand that some sections of the carriageway may appear complete, leading to questions about why the individual sections cannot be opened one at a time. However, we must emphasise that opening sections individually would create a single point for diverting traffic from the A391. This could result in vehicles travelling on routes not designed to accommodate such traffic, compromising road users' safety. Therefore, the full length of road must remain closed until the project is fully completed. Additionally, before we can safely reopen the road, we must complete all necessary road marking and road stud work, which will be carried out in a coordinated effort towards the end of the project. Works to Scredda Roundabout (Treverbyn Road closure) Key dates: • 22 and 23 May - Nights only; 3-way traffic lights. • 27 and 28 May - 24-hour closure; access maintained to St Austell Enterprise Park.
