Roadworks near Tweenaway Crossroads, Paignton

The extent of the road widening can be seen in this picture on the road which runs up the hill in the Brixham direction. A large chunk of the gardens has been sliced off. I often thought that residents must have suffered from the continuous traffic noise from this very busy ring road route to Brixham, but now it will be even more noisy as the traffic will be nearer to the houses. The size of the undertaking can be judged from the huge trench that has been backfilled in moving some service pipes, but also from the power cables that have yet to be realigned off the road. The works do not finish until June 2011.
