A30 closed: Major road in Cornwall shut between Longrock and Longstone due to 'large number of fallen trees'

National Highways reports this morning that the A30 in Cornwall is closed in both directions between the A394 (Longrock) and A3074 (Longstone) due to a large number of fallen trees that are blocking the road. It adds: “Specialist crews are on scene and working to clear the trees from the carriageway.”

It said on X: “Service providers are on scene to remove the trees. There is no estimated time of when the road will reopen, Thank you for your patience.”

It comes as thousands of homes remain without power in the South West after Storm Goretti. Winds reached 99mph on Isles of Scilly, 80mph in Camborne, and 90mph at Culdrose.

The Met Office issued rare red warning for Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, which is now expired; a yellow warning remains until 08:00.
