A section of the A379 at the Devon Hotel roundabout will be closed for two nights next month so road markings can be refreshed.
The closures will be overnight on Monday 3 August 2026 and Tuesday 4 August, from 7pm to 6am the next morning.
The work can only be completed in dry weather and if it is wet the closure may need to be extended.
The work is part of the South West Exeter scheme and will be carried out by Taylor Woodrow on behalf of Devon County Council.
The markings need to be clear so drivers can easily see the lanes and follow the roundabout safely.
For safety, the A379 will be closed between Trood Lane (to the west) and Stapleton Way (to the east). Bad Homburg Way will be closed between the Matford Park & Ride roundabout (to the north) and Devon Hotel roundabout (to the south). The Dawlish Road and Matford Lane entry’s and exits from the roundabout will also be closed.
People living or working nearby will still be able to get to and from their properties, although some routes will change during the closure.
Ellacott Road will remain open for access and exit. Traffic leaving Trood Lane will be able to turn left onto the A379.
The Devon Hotel and Matford Mews can be reached via Old Matford Lane, but drivers will not be able to get from Old Matford Lane to the roundabout.
People living on Dawlish Road will need to use Chantry Meadow to get in and out, as there will be no access to the roundabout.
A signed diversion will take drivers via Chudleigh Road and Topsham Road in both directions.
Signs indicating diversion routes will be in place during the course of the work.
