Amendments to East Street closure for bridge repairs
We have received the following update regarding the bridge repairs and road closure in North Molton. While the bridge will be closed for part of the day, main commuting times and overnight it will be reopened.
Dan Woollacott Fencing, on behalf of Devon County Council, will be carrying out repairs to the posts, rails and meshing on the bridge on East Street, North Molton, between Friday 9th – Wednesday 21st January 2026; our working hours will be between 09.00 – 15.30, the road will be open outside of these times.
Please see attached TTRO, the extension was required following in-house discussion regarding access for school transport during drop off and collection times, and for commuters. The works will take longer but hopefully the disruption at peak times will be lessened.
I understand some local residents have received a letter regarding the closure from the Traffic Management team, unfortunately that letter has the previous timings on it (09.00 – 17.00) so may raise alarm. Dan will definitely be working to restricted hours.
