The final overnight closures for the installation of a new pedestrian and cycle crossing on Bad Homburg Way in Exeter are due to get underway later this month (February).
The new toucan crossing, which is among the infrastructure improvements being developed in South West Exeter, will complete active travel links around the Devon Hotel roundabout.
Work on the eastern side of Bad Homburg Way is substantially complete and the current contraflow layout is enabling a shared use path to be developed on the opposite side of the road over the next few weeks.
From the evening of Monday 24 February, overnight closures are scheduled to start between the Park & Ride roundabout and Devon Hotel roundabout. These night-time closures will be each weekday evening from 7pm to 6am and are expected to be completed on Friday 7 March.
During these two weeks, all four traffic lanes will remain open during the daytime and at the weekend (1 and 2 March).
The overnight closures will initially be used to remove the contraflow system and other traffic management, before work is then undertaken on resurfacing, road markings and adding high friction surfacing. An overhead mast arm will also be installed.
Work is weather dependent and if it needs to be rescheduled, revised dates will be displayed on trailer-mounted signs on site.
During these overnight road closures, a fully signed diversion will be in place via A379 Bridge Road, Topsham Road, A3015 Western Way, A377 Alphington Road, Marsh Green Road West, Trusham Road, Alphinbrook Road, B3123 Hennock Road/Bad Homburg Way.
All work connected with this scheme on Bad Homburg Way is due to be completed by the end of March.
Bridge Civil Engineering Ltd is carrying out the work on our behalf and is liaising with other contractors working nearby on the A379 at Trood Lane to ensure disruption is minimised as much as possible.
