Motorists in Modbury are being warned of overnight road closures later this month as resurfacing work gets underway.

Devon County Council has announced plans to temporarily prohibit through traffic and parking on the road from Madeira Vale to Harraton Cross and New Road.

The restrictions are expected to begin on Wednesday, November 18, and remain in place until Wednesday, November 25.

Closures will operate between 7.30pm and 4am to allow carriageway patching and resurfacing work to take place.

During the closures, motorists will be directed along a signed diversion route using the A379, A3121, A38, A385 and A381, with the same route applying in reverse.

Although the work is expected to take around a week, the temporary traffic order allows restrictions to remain in force for a maximum of 18 months if required.

The work will be carried out by Holcim UK Limited, which can be contacted on 07824 778040 for further information.
