A628 Road
Watch
On this page you will find details of accident and road closures that
occur on the A628. If you are aware of any such event that is not listed
here, please e-mail us with details of the event, the date, and the
location so that we can keep this list as up-to-date and accurate as
possible.
The incidents shown on the map are also listed on the table below.
Note: The majority of accidents that occur along this route
are outside the proposed bypass area. Given that Highway's Agency
themselves concede that the bypass will attract more traffic onto this
route, how can the pro-bypass lobby argue their case for improving
safety for drivers and residents?
