Roadworks
The following map is sourced from Elgin and is highly customisable. Although it is set at West Bergholt as a starting point, being based on Google Maps, you can expand or contract the map easily and move to other areas you are likely to be travelling in now, or in the near future.
You can also check to see if your journey is likely to be affected by roadworks (including all major works such as gas, electric, water, sewage & telecommunications), traffic congestion (tick the traffic congestion box from the map layers icon at the top left) or other events such as diversion routes or large scale events.
The default is also set at the next two weeks but you can choose ‘Today’, the ‘Next 3 months’ or ‘Next 12 months’ as well. The widget this is based on should remember your preferences between sessions as long as you allow cookies to be stored on your device. To find out more about how to configure this useful widget visit the support webpage.
