A section of the road between Totnes Cross and Stumpy Post Cross will be closed for roadworks between Monday, February 5, and Saturday, February 10.

The stretch of the A381 will be closed between 7pm and 7am during this week, to allow resurfacing works to be carried out by South West Highways.

The official diversion is given as Stumpy Post Cross - Sorley Cross - Palegate Cross (Churchstow) - Bantham Cross - The Timbers (Aveton Gifford) - A381 Modbury Cross - Kitterford Cross - A38 - Marley Head Junction - A385 Marley Head - Dartington Roundabout - Redworth - A381 Western Bypass - Harbertonford - Totnes Cross and visa versa.

There are other routes back to Totnes that we can think of, but closing an A road means the diversion has to be another A road.
