The road from Rewdown Cross to Rewlea Cross is a key route for many drivers, particularly those travelling to and from Exeter, the nearest city.

Devon County Council is responsible for maintaining the road network in the county and has organised the closure to allow for the necessary works to be carried out. The council has classified the severity of the disruption as medium, indicating that drivers can expect some delays, but the route is not expected to be completely impassable.

There are several alternative routes available, and drivers are encouraged to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information before setting out on their journeys. By planning ahead and allowing extra time for their journeys, drivers can help to minimise the impact of the closure and reduce the risk of delays.

Devon County Council is working to complete the necessary works as quickly as possible to minimise the disruption to drivers. The council is also working to ensure that the road is safe and well-maintained for all users. In the meantime, drivers are being advised to be patient and to follow any diversion signs that are in place.
