Search an area and load road construction projects mapped in OpenStreetMap.
Enter a place or city and a search radius, then click Search Place to load road construction projects from OpenStreetMap in that area. Search Current Map instead loads results around wherever you've panned or zoomed to. Enable "Major roads only" to filter out smaller local construction and focus on projects likely to affect through-traffic.
Roadworks locations come from OpenStreetMap tags marking construction, which are added and updated by contributors rather than pulled from an official traffic authority feed. That means some active roadworks may be missing if they haven't been mapped yet, and some listed ones may already be finished if the map hasn't been updated. Check official regional traffic sources before relying on this for route planning.
A café or a train station stays put for years, so OpenStreetMap tags for permanent features tend to stay accurate for a long time without anyone touching them. Roadworks are the opposite: temporary by design, often finished within weeks or months, but the map tag marking one doesn't expire on its own — it only disappears once a contributor manually edits the map after the work wraps up. That structural lag is exactly why this map suits general, longer-term awareness of infrastructure projects, while a live navigation app is the better tool the moment timing actually matters.
No, it's based on OpenStreetMap tagging, which is updated by contributors rather than in real time from an official source. Treat it as a general reference, not a live traffic feed.
Roads tagged in OpenStreetMap as higher-classification routes (motorways, trunk roads, and primary roads), as opposed to smaller local streets.
Use it as a general awareness tool, but confirm current conditions with official traffic sources or your navigation app before relying on it for time-sensitive route planning.
Roadworks are temporary by nature, but the OpenStreetMap tag marking them doesn't expire automatically — it only gets removed once a contributor manually updates the map after the work wraps up. That lag means finished projects can linger on the map for a while, which is exactly why live navigation apps are the better choice for anything time-sensitive, while this map suits general, longer-term awareness.
