Local access roads to A30 near completion

A road leading to the upgraded A30 in Cornwall is on course to open in July, transport bosses say.

National Highways said the opening of the Travalso underpass near Zelah is part of ongoing work to improve access to the new A30 for local communities.

The programme of work has also seen the old A30 opened up to traffic between the Chybucca and Carland junctions.

The nine-mile (14.5km) stretch of dual-carriageway between Chiverton Cross and Carland Cross opened in June after four years of construction.

National Highways said Pennycomequick Lane and the Church Lane underpass are also due to open in the summer, together with further hedging work and tree planting.

Andrew Alcorn, National Highways' programme manager for the scheme, said: "We've done a heck of a lot to get things moving forward.

"We've progressed a significant amount of ancillary work, including planting, hedging and landscaping, we're in touching distance of the finishing line now and we thank people in advance for their continued co-operation and patience while we carry out these final works."
