Roadwork queue, Forches Cross The notice reads &quot;work starts here 10/02/20 for 43 weeks: delays possible&quot;. This was taken about 62 weeks after that date and, once the initial Covid lockdown eased and traffic returned to normal levels, prodigious queues have been a constant feature of the A382 between Drumbridges and Newton Abbot, as they were in February and March 2020. The work has now (summer 2021) been completed, with the loss of two kilometres of fine roadside hedges. However, as the smaller sign points out, this was just phase 1; there is a lot more road widening to come.

Cleared woodland, Butland's Plantation A swathe of the wood has been removed in connection with road widening of the A382 (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6951962">SX8473 : Roadwork queue, Forches Cross</a>). View from Greycoat Lane.
