Road Closure: CHURCH ROAD — Exeter

Motorists in Exeter are being advised of significant roadworks on Church Road, which are scheduled to take place from 30 November 2026 to 24 December 2026. The roadworks, which are being carried out by Devon County Council, are expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. Church Road will be affected by the works, and drivers are being warned to expect delays during this period.

The reason for the roadworks is listed as major, with a PAA designation, indicating that the works are of significant importance and may involve substantial repairs or upgrades to the road infrastructure. Devon County Council, the highway authority responsible for the works, has planned the roadworks to take place over a period of nearly four weeks, with the aim of completing the project by Christmas Eve. During this time, drivers can expect to encounter roadworks and potential traffic congestion on Church Road.

To minimize the impact of the roadworks, drivers are advised to use alternative routes where possible. By planning their journeys in advance and using traffic apps or satnav systems to stay up-to-date with the latest traffic information, motorists can help to reduce their journey times and avoid congestion. Additionally, allowing extra time for journeys and being patient while driving through the affected area can also help to reduce the stress and frustration caused by the roadworks.

Devon County Council has planned the roadworks to take place during a period when traffic volumes are generally lower, in an effort to minimize the disruption to motorists. However, with the roadworks taking place over a significant period, it is still important for drivers to be aware of the potential for delays and to plan their journeys accordingly. By working together, Devon County Council and motorists can help to ensure that the roadworks are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible, with minimal disruption to traffic in the area.
