New Tithebarn Link Road opens to traffic

The new £4.2 million Tithebarn Link Road will be open to traffic this evening. (Friday 28th August)

The road provides an alternative link between the city and the Exeter and East Devon Growth Point, connecting the existing Tithebarn Lane bridge and the northern end of Science Park to the new roundabout on Cumberland Way.

The improvements will help tackle congestion and improve the resilience of both the A30 and M5.

Devon County Council successfully secured funding for the scheme from the Department for Transport's Local Pinch Point fund and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills Regional Growth Fund. This was combined with local developer contributions and funding from the County Council.
