Weekly meetings with Torbay Council continue to assess the road closure’s status and seek to evaluate and react to any immediate concerns or third party considerations.
The works are currently on programme for re-opening the road on 31st March and finishing this phase of work after Easter through to mid-May under traffic management measures.

Improvements to the Windy Corner junction are to be carried out almost 10 years after they were first discussed. Funding to the tune of between £200,000 and £300,000 is now available from the Western Corridor scheme, which includes a number of improvements between...
