Road Closure - <strong>Lynton</strong> Station Hill<br />
Work will be taking place on Station Hill, <strong>Lynton</strong> starting 6 January 2020. Work will be carried out<br />
under a full road closure but when safe it will be reduced to two-way traffic lights. The work will run<br />
until the start of April 2020.<br />
What are we doing? Along Station Hill in <strong>Lynton</strong> there is a section of highway (40 meters) which is<br />
showing serious signs of cracking <strong>and</strong> has deteriorated over time. No existing edge support to the<br />
carriageway has been identified <strong>and</strong> in addition, there is no suitable road restraint system in place to<br />
protect vehicles from the road edge. To repair the carriageway <strong>and</strong> provide long-lasting support a mass<br />
concrete retaining wall will be constructed, which will be finished with a masonry parapet to protect<br />
vehicles from the steep bank below. Resurfacing of the highway will also be carried out.<br />
Traffic management The traffic management will be in the form of a full road closure which will be in<br />
place 24/7. This road closure will be in action for much of the scheme to safeguard both the<br />
contractor <strong>and</strong> members of the public. However, if possible, we may consider the use of two-way traffic<br />
lights to allow the road to be reopened earlier than anticipated.<br />
Diversion routes For this closure we have provided one diversion route for both a light vehicle <strong>and</strong><br />
HGV (heavy goods vehicle) to use. Both diversion routes (Station Hill <strong>and</strong> B3234) can be found<br />
on one.network which will display the exact routes. Please note one.network requires you to create an<br />
account to view future <strong>and</strong> proposed work.<br />
Can I claim compensation? There is no legal obligation or express statutory authority that enables<br />
Devon County Council to compensate for increased costs or any financial loss suffered as a result of<br />
the traffic management in place. While every effort is made to inconvenience the public as little as<br />
possible there are times when however regrettable interruptions cannot be avoided. If you would like<br />
any further information, please contact our Customer Service Centre on 0345 155 1004.<br />
