The works are expected to last until 11 August 2026, with the Denning Close road being affected. The nearest major city is Exeter. Somerset Council is responsible for the highway maintenance and is undertaking the roadworks.

Residents and commuters are advised to plan their journeys in advance as the roadworks are likely to cause some delays. The roadworks are described as minor by the highway authority, but this may not necessarily be reflected in the traffic congestion levels. Drivers are urged to check traffic apps regularly for updates on the road conditions and to consider using alternative routes to avoid the affected area. It is also recommended that drivers allow extra time for their journeys, as traffic may be heavier than usual.

The roadworks are scheduled to take place between 08 August 2026 at 00:00 and 11 August 2026 at 00:00. During this time, the road will be closed to through traffic, and drivers may be diverted onto local roads. It is not clear at this stage what the exact diversion routes will be, but drivers are advised to follow the signs and instructions provided by the traffic management team.

Somerset Council has stated that the roadworks are necessary to improve the overall condition of the road and to prevent any potential hazards from occurring. The exact nature of the work being carried out has not been disclosed. However, the council has assured residents and commuters that the works will be completed as quickly and safely as possible.
