The road will be closed from 10pm on Friday 3 March until 5am on Monday 6 March, to enable the area south of the canal bridges to be resurfaced. The existing carriageway, which is suffering structural failure, will be dug up and entirely re-laid, along with the widened section on the west side which will form part of the final four-lane layout.

Road closure 5-8 may
They are hoping to avoid further weekend closures but expect more over night ones!
Bridge Road will also be closed over the same hours overnight on Wednesday (19 July) and Thursday (20 July) and also from 10pm on Friday (21 July) to 5am Saturday morning.
The road will be closed from 8:30pm on Wednesday 9 May, and will re-open by 5:30am the following morning (Thursday 10 May).
The closure is needed for the installation of Automatic Traffic Counters, and Devon County Council’s maintenance contractor Skanska will also be taking the opportunity to clean out drainage gullies.
The traffic counters are magnetic loops sealed in the road surface which record the number of vehicles travelling over them and feed the information to a roadside cabinet. The data provides essential information for transport planning.
During the closure the diversion route will be signed via Topsham Road, Alphington Road, Marsh Barton and the A379.
