The South Devon Highway (or Kingskerswell Bypass) connects Torbay and Newton Abbot, bypassing the A380 between Penn Inn, Newton Abbot and Kerswell Gardens in Torquay, which was one of the most choked up and heavily used roads in the South West, carrying more than 35,000 vehicles a day. Construction of the 3.4 mile (5.5km) dual carriageway began in 2012 and it was opened in 2015. Part of the bypass involved the construction of a flyover at the Penn Inn Roundabout at Newton Abbot where the A380 used to meet the A381; previously one of the busiest roundabouts in Devon. The junction takes its name from the similarly-named adjacent Pen Inn public house (Image]).
