Devon: A35 Landslip still causing delays six months on

A National Highways statement apologised for the inconvenience

A landslip on the A35 near Honiton, in Devon, has caused delays for six months.

Local drivers are frustrated at the disruption and lack of repair work carried out since October.

National Highways, which looks after motorways and some A roads, said a lot of work had been "taking place in the background".

It said it hoped to begin remedial work on 25 April which would take two weeks to complete.

National Highways apologised for the inconvenience and said "a full day-time closure of the A35" would be necessary to complete the work.

In October, part of the hedge fell into an adjacent field

One Devon driver, Sheldon, said it was "ridiculous" that "nothing has happened" for the past six months.

He said: "Traffic lights and massive queues round a blind corner - I don't know how there hasn't been an accident.

"Lots of people have started going through red lights as well, overtaking people because they take so long to change."

Sheldon also said he was worried "the whole road would collapse".

One driver said people were running red lights and overtaking round a blind corner

National Highways said safety was its number one priority and temporary traffic lights would remain in place while the eastbound carriageway was closed.

It has advised motorists to plan ahead and allow a little extra time for their journeys.
