Roadworks on now or coming up across the areas we cover, by the company or council that booked them.
Where the figures come from
Roadworks and closures come from the Department for Transport’s Street Manager service, which every council and utility company in England uses to book works on the road. It is published once a month under the Open Government Licence, and the latest month we have is September 2026. We take the works the councils covering Torbay publish, and count each area as a circle round its middle, the same as on its MeBabber page. Street parties and play streets (2 on now or coming up) close roads on set days, so they are shown on each area’s page but not counted as roadworks.
Dates are what was booked, and works often finish early or run late. Emergency repairs and works booked at short notice may not show until the next month. See our sources and their licences.
