The work begins with footway maintenance work. The High Street junction with The Quay will be closed overnight from 7pm to 7am on Monday, August 5 and Tuesday, August 6.

Two-way temporary traffic lights will be put in place for five days around the Jubilee Square junction with The Quay.

The Bridgeland Street junction with The Quay will see overnight road closures on Thursday, August 8 and Friday, August 9.

Road resurfacing will take place from Monday, August 12 to Friday, August 16. The Quay will be closed overnight between the Royal Mail depot and Bideford Long Bridge.
