Temporary traffic lights to be removed from the A376 over the summer months

Temporary traffic signals which have been in place for the construction of the Dinan Way extension, will be cleared from the A376 on Friday 29 May to help ease traffic flow in and out of Exmouth during the summer.

The new Dinan Way extension will then open for use in September with traffic being diverted onto the new road while construction of the new roundabout on the A376 is carried out.

To undertake work on the new roundabout, which is the final element of the scheme, the A376 will be temporarily closed from the roundabout site to the Courtlands Lane junction, while traffic uses the new link road.

The development of this roundabout is complex due to the amount of underground services in the area, a number of which need to be re-routed by third parties.

The exact date of the opening of the new section of Dinan Way, and the duration of the closure of the short stretch of the A376 are still to be confirmed, but the scheme is now due to be complete by the end of the year.

The project has been delayed due to the significant impact of poor weather earlier in the year, combined with supply chain issues. As a result, the critical A376 works were pushed into the summer holiday period. To minimise disruption during this busy time, a decision was made to pause the work and remove traffic management from the A376 (the main route into and out of Exmouth) to help ease traffic flow during Exmouth’s peak tourist season.

Work on the A376 will recommence after the summer holidays.
