Road Closures on the Plymouth Ring Road

Plymouth's ring road system forms an orbital route around the city, connecting the A38 Devon Expressway to the Tamar Bridge and city centre. The ring road passes through Derriford, Estover, and Plymstock, and is an important route for traffic accessing Plymouth from the M5 motorway. Plymouth City Council manages the ring road as part of its transport strategy. Because the route is made up of several numbered roads, this page tracks closures across all of them — A374, A386, A38 and A379, the route runs for about 12 miles and the responsible highway authority is Plymouth City Council. Closures are most disruptive around Derriford roundabout, Estover junction, Plymstock junction and Laira Bridge junction.
