Overnight road closures are planned on the A380 dual carriageway between Penn Inn roundabout and Splatford Split interchange later this month (September) for routine highway maintenance work.

This will include grass cutting, tree work, routine inspections, sign cleaning, safety barrier maintenance, carriageway patching, cats eye replacement and re-lining existing road markings.

A county council spokesperson said: ‘The works, which will all be completed at the same time to minimise inconvenience to the travelling public, are essential to ensure that this busy road is adequately maintained, and will be carried out using overnight road closures to safeguard our workforce.’

The work will take place overnight in two stages.

The first stage will see both the Exeter and Torbay-bound carriageways from Penn Inn roundabout to the Eagle Farm junction closed overnight from 8pm until 6am on Monday, September 12, and Tuesday, September 13.

Following this, the north and south bound carriageways from the Eagle Farm junction to Splatford Split interchange will be closed from 8pm until 6am from the evening of Wednesday, September 14, until the morning of Saturday, September 17.

Diversion routes will be in place and any updates will be posted on our Roads and Transport webpage.
