Hi all. I have been caught out with road closures a lot recently and am looking for an easy and fast way of identifying what's planned. The current choices I have found are tbh crap; highways england downloadable .xls which you need to browse all roads you intend to travel on to find planned works, or the traffic england site where it is similar, you having to select each individual road.

Ideally, google maps would interrogate these sources for me and build it into their route planner. Has anyone found a quick and easy way of checking a route in advance of setting out upon it that doesnt involve a massive amount of clickf**kery?

Cheers.

Waze. Data is crowdsourced as well as the usual sources so generally very accurate.

Doesnt that just show live data? So if a road closes in x hours, does it share that and route around it?
