The South Devon Link Road, A380, seen from the bridge carrying Huxnor Road. This view is looking towards Torquay. Plans to alleviate traffic on the A380 road that ran through Kingskerswell had been in place since the 1950s but after being postponed, cancelled and reinstated, planning permission was granted in August 2005 with the main construction work due to start in Summer 2010 for completion in 2013. Finally in November 2011 the government awarded £74.6 million towards the cost of the bypass and the county council stated that it hoped that construction could start in October 2012 with completion in December 2015. The bypass was opened to traffic on 15 December 2015. Views of the old route through Kingskerswell are at Image and Image
