Common questions

What counts as a planned roadwork on this page?
Granted permits and scheduled works inside a 5-mile radius of Pontefract that are due to start between tomorrow and 15 Oct 2026 — but have not yet begun. That includes full closures, lane closures, two-way traffic lights, give-and-take systems and works without traffic management. Live and same-day works appear on the live roadworks page instead.
How far ahead does this page look?
Seven days from tomorrow. Works starting today are on the live roadworks page; works more than a week away are not shown here yet. The list is rebuilt four times a day from Street Manager and National Highways.
Can planned dates change?
Yes. Promoters can alter or cancel permits before work starts. We refresh this page four times daily, but a start date shown today may shift before the work actually begins.
Where does this data come from?
Local roads come from the UK Department for Transport's Street Manager service. Motorways and trunk roads come from National Highways. We don't modify or filter what promoters submit.
Can I get warned before these works affect my commute?
Yes, plot a route through Pontefract on Roadworks Radar and we’ll email you whenever a new closure or major roadwork is added on or near it. There’s no app to install. Membership from £2/month.
