Roadworks in Elwick Road and the Beaver Road roundabout junction with Romney Marsh Road and Victoria Way, continue to affect town centre traffic until November 2008.
Further works will be taking place at the Newtown Bridge, which is closed for 10 months from January 2008.
Delays can be expected with the closure of Forge Lane and West Street, with all traffic being diverted down Regents Place and Apsley Street.
