DEVON Highways has deferred works which would have required the closure of A3072 today, Wednesday, January 14 and tomorrow, Thursday, January 15.

In a statement Devon Highways said: “Due to South West Water works on Exhibition Road in Crediton underway between January 12 to 16, Devon Highways plan to defer investigation works on the A3072 Road from Braddon Corner to Chilton Gate, Cadbury, to reduce the impact on the local community.

“The works planned for January 14 and 15 will now be rescheduled and we will confirm new dates in due course.”

The Exhibition Road works are required because of a major water main burst in Exhibition Road.
