THE speed limit on the A38 between the Saltash Tunnel and Carkeel roundabout is set to be lowered from 70mph to 50mph, with average speed cameras being installed to enforce the 30mph limit through the tunnel and on the B3271 and North Road diversion routes.
The 35-year-old A38 tunnel is set for a £20 million ‘generational’ refurbishment. National Highways is about to embark on a phased programme of safety, refurbishment and modernisation work in and around the Saltash Tunnel this month.
To enable preparation work, the tunnel will be closed on weeknights from 8pm to 6am, between Monday, September 18 and October 7, with traffic diverted via the B3271 and North Road.
For the speed reduction scheme, the Saltash tunnel and A38 to the Carkeel roundabout will be closed overnight, on weeknights only, between October 2 and October 24.
The overnight closures will be in place from 8pm to 6am, and from October 25 to November 7 two-way traffic signals will be in place overnight on the B3271 and North Road.
