S4 Exeter bypass proper

Now it looks the part. A30/A38 together, now reverted to A379, as it was originally.

Link to M5

The northern half of the bypass was itself bypassed in Oct 75, when the M5 opened to J30, via this freeflow link. The bit I have just done was bypassed in May 77, when the final stretch to J31 opened, ending Exeter's famous part in road history.

Exeter bypass

Crossing the Exeter Canal. The lifting of the bridge must have intensified the already bad summer queues.

Main Road Through Elburton

Exeter Bypass

Looking north along an S4 section, now part of the A379 to the Dawlish area, so still seeing some of its traditional holiday traffic.

A379 Torquay

This is a random photo I took of the A379 that runs along the coast of south Devon. The road continues on the left.

A379 Exeter

Clearly room under the railway bridge for the carriageways to widen. Unfortunately, the bridge is in the way of us seeing the embankment in the middle ahead, clearly showing that something bigger was planned.

A379 Exeter

The carriageways start to split. Obviously something bigger was planned.

A379 Exeter

Near Digby. An unusual distance for an advance warning fork. It's normally half a mile.

Approaching the lifting bridge from the west.

Pre-Worboys 'Concealed Drive' sign on the A379 in Teignmouth, Devon. Obviously this one goes back a long way, probably into the 1920's or earlier. Warning is still very valid although the concealed drive referenced on the sign is now a concealed road junction without any other (modern) warning sign.

The A379 at Slapton Ley in Devon.

Wobbly Wheel "Named after the Wobbly Wheel Garage, in Kennford, which stood on the site of the Partridge Cycles shop". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_road_junctions_in_the_United_Kingdom:_W). The shop is just behind the trees in the centre. The slip road is joining from the A379, which itself has a slip road leading to a T junction for Kennford village or this bridge - or the Old Dawlish Road. Quite a complex road junction! Traffic gathers an alarming pace at this point as it prepares to climb Telegraph Hill into the Haldon hills.

Pre-Worboys sign directing people to Exeter. Sign is located on the A379 travelling towards Exeter as you leave Dawlish town centre area. This sign is one of two like it in the town. The other is on the unclassified road from Dawlish to Ashcombe. Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Sep 29, 2006 by RichieGraham

Looking towards Torcross, the A379 cuts a straight path between the sea and Slapton Ley.

Looking east towards Strete Gate. The A379 was partly washed away by a strong easterly gale and had only just re-opened. The section ahead having been moved inland somewhat.

The car park off the A379 at the Slapton Sands Memorial. Compare and contrast with the latest street view shot and notice the amount lost during Storm Emma. The left edge of the car park also shows evidence of the damage. The A379 had just opened this week following its move inland by 20 metres.
