April and May Roadworks Impacting Newquay and Surrounding Areas
Temporary Road Closures in Newquay
This April and May, several key roads in Newquay will experience temporary closures and speed restrictions. Notably, Mountbatten Close will be closed to through traffic from April 7 to May 15 for drainage line installation, necessitating a 24-hour prohibition on stopping during this period. Other essential roadworks in the area will ensure necessary maintenance and safety for the community. Visitors looking to go to Newquay should plan their routes carefully. Although some diversions will be in place, pedestrian access will be maintained where possible, making it easier for those exploring the local attractions, including the stunning Fistral Beach.

Road users are advised to follow these diversions carefully to avoid delays and potential congestion. Pedestrian access will also remain available during most of the works, allowing locals and tourists alike to continue enjoying the area. For dog owners, this provides a great opportunity to explore Newquay with pets, especially at dog-friendly beaches and accommodations that welcome furry friends, ensuring that your entire family can enjoy the seaside.
