“The Exe Bridges are a major route into and out of the city for many and are badly in need of these carriageway works to ensure that the road surface will be protected from water ingress and is fit for purpose for many years to come." Councillor Carol Whitton, Devon County Councillor for St David’s and Haven Banks
“I will be working with Officers to ensure that diversions are well sign posted and with advance notice so you can better plan your journeys, and I’m assured that pedestrian and cycle access will be maintained throughout the scheme.” Councillor Yvonne Atkinson, Chair of Exeter HATOC and County Councillor for Alphington and Cowick
Exe Bridges will undergo essential repairs and maintenance during overnight work in March and April.
Work to reconstruct and resurface the two bridges will start on the evening of Monday 4 March and is expected to take around seven weeks.
Most of the work will be carried out from 7pm to 7am, although some daytime work will be needed on occasions.
The existing road surface is in need of reconstruction. The scheme will also involve re-waterproofing the North and South bridges and repairs will be carried out to defective manhole covers, kerbs and gullies.
