A SECTION of the A377 east of Crediton is to be closed overnight for almost four weeks for resurfacing.

The road from the Tesco roundabout to Hookway Cross will be shut between 7pm and 6am from Monday, October 19 to Friday, November 13.

The diversion will be via the A3072 to Bickleigh, the A396 to Cowley, the A377 to Newton St Cyres and vice versa.

For more information, telephone Tarmac Trading Ltd on 07984 484646.

Separately, a sixth-month closure of the A377 south of Umberleigh is under way to enable highway repairs and stabilisation works to be completed following a landslip that caused part of the road to collapse in 2021.
