Temporary road closure, Heavitree Road

Good afternoon,

I am sure you are fully aware, however when travelling in and around Exeter, please be mindful of the Heavitree Road closure from today, 21st July until 15th* August. This is likely to create high volumes of traffic on other routes so therefore advise you to please take this into consideration and plan ahead for any journeys, leaving in plenty of time.

Please see affected bus services:

Service C – No service between City Centre (Cheeke Street), Heavitree and Sowton Park & Ride. Passengers who would normally use Sowton Park & Ride are advised to use nearby Honiton Road Park & Ride (postcode EX2 7NL). Alternatively, passengers can catch service 9 or 9A from Moor Lane (Eagle Way stops – approx. 5 min walk). Normal service between City Centre and Matford Park & Ride.

Service R – Will serve all stops as normal, but will operate on diversion via Barrack Road, Church Lane and Butts Road.
