Yarnscombe road closed due to major works

Motorists are advised to plan ahead as a significant road closure is set to affect the A-road from Cloggshill Cross to Huntshaw Cross in the Yarnscombe area, near Plymouth. The section of the A-road will be closed from 18:00 on 8th August 2026 until 05:00 on 10th August 2026, causing potential disruption for drivers. Devon County Council is responsible for maintaining this stretch of road and has announced the closure due to a major (PAA) works programme.

The A-road closure from Cloggshill Cross to Huntshaw Cross will have a medium severity impact on traffic, with drivers advised to use alternative routes. Motorists are urged to check traffic and travel updates regularly, using reliable sources such as traffic apps and websites, to plan their journeys accordingly. It is essential to factor in additional time for travel and to consider the potential for delays when planning routes.

The road closure will affect drivers who regularly use the A-road, as well as those who may have to divert through the area during the closure period. While the closure is in place, drivers may experience delays and congestion, particularly during peak travel times. It is crucial to check for updates regularly, as the situation may change, and to consider the potential impact on local businesses and residents.

In preparation for the road closure, drivers are advised to plan their routes in advance, checking for alternative routes and estimated travel times. Motorists should also be aware of any changes to bus services or public transportation that may be affected by the road closure. By planning ahead and staying informed, drivers can help to minimize the disruption caused by the road closure.

For those who need to travel through the affected area, there are several alternative routes that can be taken. However, it is essential to check for updates before embarking on a journey, as traffic conditions and road closures can change rapidly. Motorists are advised to check the Devon County Council website and social media channels for the latest information on the road closure and any related works.
