Roadworks are underway this evening on one of the key stretches in and out of Helston, and are expected to last all night.

Road closures are now in place affecting part of Meneage Street, Meneage Road and The Furry.

This is for Cormac to carry out resurfacing on the road from the Spar roundabout to just past Helston Cemetery.

As a result, the road is closed in Meneage Street between the roundabout and Meneage Road, and also the stretch of Meneage Road from the roundabout to property number 12.

However, in reality this also puts The Furry out of action for anyone wanting to go further than the Bulwark Estate or Spar.

Diversions are in place directing traffic around the closed section.

The traffic order is in place from tonight (Wednesday) and runs until this Saturday ,May 25 although not all days may be necessary. The closure is in place from 7pm to 6am each night.

It states: “This prohibition is necessary for surfacing works and it is expected that the closure will be from 22nd May 2024 to 25th May 2024.”
