Work to upgrade the access road to Exeter International Airport is due to start on Tuesday 26 August.
The £1.4 million scheme will increase the width of the B3184, improving the link from the A30 to Exeter Airport and the nearby Exeter Airport Business Park.
The current narrow width of the road causes traffic congestion, particularly for larger vehicles and HGVs. Widening the existing layout will improve traffic visibility and increase safety for road users. It will also support growth of the airport and would enable the road to cope with any increase in vehicles.
A new £9 million road which is a vital link to major employment sites in the Exeter and East Devon Growth Point is now complete and has opened to traffic today (Thursday 3 October).
