Traffic restrictions lifted over Christmas and New Year
Restrictions on Junction 29 of the M5 to be relaxed.
Lane restrictions around Junction 29 of the M5 will be removed for the Christmas and New Year.
No work will take place on the junction of the M5 and A30 from 6am on Friday, December 23, until midnight on Tuesday, January 3.
During the Christmas period 50 and 40mph limits will remain in place and cones will be place at the edge of the carriageway.
The right turn from the A30 westbound to M5 north will remain closed and traffic will continue to be diverted via Moor Lane roundabout, back onto the eastbound carriageway of the A30 to continue northbound on the M5.
A section of footpath on the southern side of the A30, restricting access to Sowton village via Sowton Lodge, will also remain closed over the holiday period.
Cyclists and pedestrians are being diverted to use the existing crossing on the A30, alongside the A30 eastbound through Blackhorse and across the Blackhorse Interchange bridge.
