Great Torrington Road Closed Due Major Works

A major road in Great Torrington, Devon, is set to be closed for 21 hours from 18:00 on 8 August 2026 to 05:00 on 10 August 2026, disrupting traffic for drivers heading through the region. The affected stretch of road is between Calvesford Road and Belle Vue Cross. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys carefully and check for updates on traffic apps before setting out.

This road closure is being carried out by Devon County Council, which is responsible for maintaining the county's roads and highways. The work is part of a wider programme of improvements aimed at enhancing the region's transport network. During the closure, drivers will need to find alternative routes, with traffic management measures in place to direct vehicles away from the affected area.

The road closure is expected to have a medium impact on traffic, with some disruption likely to occur, particularly during peak travel times. Motorists are urged to check for updates on traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, before embarking on their journeys. These apps can provide real-time information on traffic conditions, helping drivers to plan the most efficient route.

While the road closure is in place, drivers are advised to consider using alternative routes, such as the A386 or the B3232, which may add some time to their journeys but will help to avoid the congested area. Motorists are also reminded to follow all traffic signs and directions from traffic management personnel, who will be on site to assist with directing traffic.

The road closure is part of a larger programme of works aimed at maintaining and improving Devon's roads and highways. Devon County Council is working hard to ensure that the disruption caused by the closure is kept to a minimum, but drivers are urged to be patient and plan their journeys carefully.
