Please note from the road closures displayed below and on the attachment the permission for the scheduled road closure of Rampton Road for 21st April to 14 May 2025 has been revoked. This means Rampton Road will not close at this time. It is being reviewed.

The remaining road closures will go ahead as shown.

Please find attached the roadworks bulletin, detailing works and events that are due to start between 16^th – 31^st March 2025.

Just a reminder that this only includes works that are due to start between 16^th – 31^st March 2025 and longer term works that are still in progress will have been included on previous reports. Alternatively please refer to https://one.network/ which will include details on emergency roadworks.

If you have any questions around this, please do get in touch.

And some exciting news – we have now launched our Facebook and Instagram accounts! Following on from the success that we’ve had with the Cambs_Traffic social media account on X (formally Twitter), we wanted to share with you our new pages for Facebook and Instagram that will show advance warnings of road closures and impactful works throughout the county, educational posts about Highways & Transport and any Highways & Transport information moving forward, so we can reach a larger audience of the public within Cambridgeshire and beyond.

We will not be posting emergency and up to date traffic news such as delays etc within the county due to the algorithms used. We will continue using X to display this information as posts are posted immediately and in sequence. Please do hop over and give us a follow!

Cambridgeshire County Council

The Traffic Management Centre (TMC) monitors the county’s road network and reports any variations to the traffic flow, we refer to these as ‘incidents’. We use the term ‘incident’ to describe something that has happened on the County’s road network which has an impact (of varying degrees) on usual traffic flows. This could include, for example, a Road Traffic Collision, a burst water main or temporary traffic lights for road works.

We are using a new web-based system to log and display these incidents in both map and report formats.

This system can be viewed by visiting; https://cadence247-ccc.controller.cityscience.com/

The system is still a work in progress and we have been using it live since August 2022, so anything pre-August has been ported over from our old log which is why there might not be as much detail in the information.

The TMC responded to 117 incidents on the road network throughout Cambridgeshire in February covering 20 weekdays. This figure is slightly lower to that of what we reported in February 2024 and a decrease to that of Januarys.

Please see the table below which illustrates the number of incidents over the last 6 months, compared to the same period last year;

Incidents by month/year

Our @Cambs_Traffic X account is our quickest engagement tool with the public and the interaction gives a good indication of how effective the messages are getting out to people.

Throughout January we gained 78 new followers however we lost some making the number lower than that of January’s. Our profile views and post impressions both decreased from that of January’s as well as our posts posted.

The table below illustrates the analytics over the last 6 months.

Note:  The number of Posts sent includes advance notice road works and event Posts alongside live incident Posts.

Following on from the latest update of the City Science system where we record our incidents, please be aware that when first opening the application it will now default to only showing you the last 28 days of incidents. We found performance of the controller page was struggling when showing the full history. If you want to revert to the old view, you can use the Timespan dropdown at the top of the sidebar and clear the “From” date (the actual clearing procedure is browser dependent, but it should be along the lines of clicking the date input, clicking “Clear” and then “Apply”).
