Bridge Road in Exeter to close overnight

Bridge Road in Exeter will be closed from 10pm tonight (Thursday) until 5am tomorrow morning (Friday 26 August) while changes are made to the traffic layout.

From Friday morning, the two traffic lanes will be running on the east (downstream) side of Bridge Road between Glasshouse Lane and the South West Water Treatment Works access road, to enable work to start on the upstream area. Pedestrians and cyclists will be able to use a safe new route formed behind barriers on what is currently road surface.

If you are approaching the area for the first time after this change, please approach with care and follow all directions on the temporary signs. All traffic (vehicle, pedestrian and cycle) routes from the Canal Bridges to Matford roundabout will remain the same for now.
