Overnight closures for surfacing and lining works on and around Leigham Roundabout will enter their final phases next week.
All closures will run from 7pm to 6am.
On Monday 25, Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 July the southbound side of Forder Valley Road will be closed overnight from the petrol station to Leigham Roundabout. The roundabout will also be closed from there to the A38 westbound off-slip.
This closure means there will be no access to Longbridge Road, Marsh Mills or the A38 eastbound from Leigham Roundabout. However, access will be maintained for the Service 50 bus, operated by Plymouth Citybus.
The rest of the roundabout will remain open, as will the northbound side of Forder Valley Road, so drivers will be able to access the A38 westbound, Delamere Road and Forder Valley Road from some arms of the roundabout.
The following diversions will be in place:
- Access to Longbridge Road from the roundabout will be via Forder Valley Road northbound, Novorossiysk Road and Leigham
- Access to the A38 from Longbridge Road will be via Leigham, Novorossiysk Road, Forder Valley Road West, Fort Austin Avenue, through Crownhill Village and onto Tavistock Road to Manadon
- Access to the A38 from Delamere Road will be via Forder Valley Road northbound, Fort Austin Avenue, Crownhill Village and Tavistock Road to Manadon
The slip lane from the A38 westbound towards Leigham Roundabout will remain closed overnight next week, while new signage is installed. Lane closures will also remain in place on the slip roads between Leigham Roundabout and Marsh Mills Roundabout.
From Thursday 28 July Forder Valley Road will be closed overnight in both directions between Leigham Roundabout and the petrol station for around four weeks. This is for final surfacing, lining and work to install street lighting and traffic signals.
Traffic will be diverted via the A38, A386 Tavistock Road, Budshead Way, Fort Austin Avenue and Forder Valley Road West.
Vehicles will be able to travel straight ahead from Novorossiysk Road onto Forder Valley Road West during all of these closures and access to and from Wilburt Road will be maintained.
Thanks for bearing with us while these final phases of work are carried out.
When complete, the Forder Valley Interchange scheme will improve traffic flow by upgrading and extending the short merge from Leigham Roundabout onto Forder Valley Road and providing an additional lane from Forder Valley Road onto the roundabout. Walking and cycling facilities are also being upgraded.
