Traffic delays are being reported through Newton Poppleford, after South West Water close the road after a burst water main.
A section of the A3052 just outside Newton Poppleford at the bottom of Four Elms Hill is currently closed as contractors work to fix the broken section of pipe. The road is closed both ways and a diverson is in place until at least Thursday.
As from around 2.30pm on Tuesday (September 24), delays are being reported through Newton Poppleford and towards Sidmouth on the A3052.
South West Water said: “We are working hard to fix a burst water main on the A3052 in Harpford, Sidmouth and are using tankers to keep customers in supply until this is fixed.
“We have had to close the road to carry out the work safely and we aim to reopen it on Thursday once the burst is fixed and the road is reinstated. A diversion route is in place.”
