UK-based transport data company Elgin has announced that the Olympic torch route for the 2012 London Olympic Games has been published on roadworks.org, its roadworks information website.

The update is intended to help traffic managers and utilities ensure that road maintenance operations do not disrupt the Olympic torch relay.

In conjunction with the London 2012 Organising Committee, Elgin is making the torch route information available on its map of planned roadworks, providing a coordination tool for roadworks planners.

The London 2012 Olympic torch relay will last for 70 days, from 19 May to 27 July this summer, starting at Land’s End in Cornwall and finishing at the Olympic Stadium in East London.

Around 8,000 runners will take part in the relay, the route of which will come within ten miles of 95% of the population of the UK, the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey.

The relay will make one stop outside the UK, visiting the Irish capital of Dublin on 6 June.

Roadworks.org incorporates live data updates from participating local authority streetworks registers, as well as Transport for London and Highways Agency work management systems, to present a map of current and planned roadworks which is only available to local authority personnel and utility staff.
