Scorrier Junction is a junction to the north east of Redruth, Cornwall. It is the most easterly of 4 junctions between the A30 and A3047.
It was originally constructed as a partial Diamond interchange with the Camborne - Redruth bypass, with the westbound entry slip road left out. It also marked the eastern end of the bypass and remained so for around 20 years. It was converted into a partial folded diamond junction in the early 1990's with the construction of the Blackwater bypass.
Further modifications were made in 2014 when an entry road to the western side of the as yet unbuilt Cornwall Business Park was built opposite the Pub that lies within the Junction.
Scorrier junction has signs alongside the A3047 warning drivers not to follow their Sat-Nav's as they have been known to direct traffic down the westbound exit sliproad, which was the original line of the road before the Camborne - Redruth Bypass was built.
