Roadworks on now or coming up across the areas we cover, by the company or council that booked them.
Where the figures come from
Roadworks and closures come from the Department for Transport’s Street Manager service, which every council and utility company in England uses to book works on the road. It is published once a month under the Open Government Licence, and the latest month we have is September 2026. We take the works the councils covering Torridge publish, and count each area as a circle round its middle, the same as on its MeBabber page.
Dates are what was booked, and works often finish early or run late. Emergency repairs and works booked at short notice may not show until the next month. See our sources and their licences.
Right now the areas with the most roadworks on or booked for the next month are Northam (24), Appledore (14), Westward Ho! (12), Bideford (9) and Holsworthy (8). The middle area has 0.
Which roads are closed in Torridge this week?
7 road closures are on now or starting in the next seven days across the areas we cover, including Barnstaple By Pass in Bideford, Avon Lane in Westward Ho! and Road Past Apple Cross in Great Torrington. The full list is on this page.
Who is doing the most roadworks in Torridge?
Of the 50 roadworks on now or coming up, the most are by Devon County Council (24), Openreach (16) and South West Water (3). Water, gas, phone and electricity companies need a permit to dig up the road, the same as the councils.
How up to date are the roadworks figures?
They come from the Department for Transport’s Street Manager service, which publishes every permit once a month; the latest month we have is September 2026. Works booked at short notice, and emergency repairs, may not show until the next month’s figures arrive.
