Talk about perfect timing. Biglorryblog learns that no less than 900 miles of motorway roadworks are planned for August. And where do I get this intelligence. Why, from none other than a Parliamentary answer to Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary, Norman Baker. Baker tells BLB: "Holidaymakers face gridlock and delays on English roads this August, with more than 900 miles of roadworks planned on motorways, just when families are planning to getaway this summer they face hours of misery on the motorway." Well it's not just holiday makers mate... It's the thousands of poor old Great British Truckers who have to put up with roadworks every flamin' day of their driving lives! Now click through here for more details... Unless you don't want to get depressed!

The Parliamentary answer, which includes a regional breakdown, is available here:
