Roborough commuters face disruption amid road closures and repairs
Commuters travelling between Roborough and Yelverton are facing disruption today as Devon County Council carries out emergency patching works
Motorists travelling through Roborough and Yelverton are facing disruption today (Tuesday, November 10) as roadworks and a temporary road closure affect a key route.
Devon County Council has introduced a temporary prohibition of through traffic on the road over Roborough Down Bridge, Roborough, to allow patching works to take place.
The restriction came into force earlier this morning and is expected to last for the day, with an anticipated finish time of 5pm on Tuesday, November 10.
The closure has been accompanied by traffic management elsewhere on the route, with two-way temporary traffic lights in operation on the road from Yelverton Roundabout to Dartmoor Retreat.
According to the latest roadworks information, the traffic lights are scheduled to remain in place between 7am to 5pm today while reactive patching works are carried out.
Motorists have also told The Moorlander of commuter delays in the area, with drivers being advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
At 10.35am on Tuesday morning, Google’s Traffic Map indicated dark red slow moving live traffic in the area.
The signed diversion for vehicles affected by the Roborough Down Bridge closure is via the road east of Commonmoor Plantation and the road from Yelverton Roundabout to Dartmoor Retreat, in both directions.
The temporary restrictions have been introduced under Section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
The works are being carried out on behalf of Devon County Council, with M Group providing further information on 020 3307 8051.
Drivers are advised to follow the signed diversion and approach the area with care while the works are under way.
