Sections of the A3052 from Branscombe Cross to Seaton Down Hill will see overnight road closures on weekdays from Monday 23 January until Friday 3 February for resurfacing, signage and drainage work.

The closures will be in place from 7pm until 7am.

The road will remain open overnight on the weekend of Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 January.

A diversion will be in place for the duration of the work.

Councillor Stuart Hughes (Conservative, Sidmouth), cabinet member for highways management, said: "We're managing to fit a lot of essential maintenance work, including signage and drainage works, into 10 overnight closures.

"Completing it all at the same time will minimise disruption and inconvenience to the travelling public.

"We have to sign diversion routes using equivalent category roads, and in this case that can accommodate heavy goods vehicles that use this major route. 

"Drivers of smaller vehicles may find alternative shorter routes to their destination."
