A380 Kingskerswell Bypass
You are here: Home - Futures - A380 Kingskerswell Bypass
Scheme Outline
Construction of a new dual two-lane route to replace the existing A380 from the Penn Inn roundabout at Newton Abbot to Torquay. The route will bypass the village of Kingskerswell and remove the final section of single-carriageway road on the route from the A38 Devon Expressway to the Torbay area.
As part of the scheme the Penn Inn roundabout, which includes provision for a flyover at the terminus of the existing dual carriageway, will be grade separated. The connecting section of the Torbay Ring Road will also be dualled, forming an additional 0.8km (0.4 miles) of upgraded road.
The scheme is being jointly administered and promoted by Devon County Council and Torbay Council.
