There is the chance of traffic troubles and delays for drivers as the A30 between Carland Cross and Chiverton closes at night for repairs in October and November.

The work will include resurfacing and repairs to the road surface, new road markings, drainage repairs, sign cleaning and vegetation clearance and will take place overnight to reduce inconvenience to road users.

To allow the work to take place it will be necessary to close the road in both directions between 8pm and 6am on the nights of October 27 - 31 inclusive, and November 3 - 7 inclusive.

Through traffic will follow a clearly signed diversion along the A3058 and A3075 via Quintrell Downs and Goonhavern.

Access will be provided for emergency services and local residents who will be provided with passes.

The Highways Agency’s project sponsor, Helen Phillips, said: "By closing the road for this relatively short period, we can carry out these works quickly and safely. It also provides the opportunity for adjacent landowners to undertake maintenance works on their hedges and fences alongside the A30”
