A £400,000 scheme to install a crossing for cyclists and pedestrians on a busy Plymouth road is coming to an end - but there will be road closures and diversions first. Work began on the Cot Hill crossing, in Plympton , in July , with PlymouthLive readers complaining about the time it has taken to complete.

But the work actually proceeded well with phase two starting two weeks early , in late September. And the council today said construction of the crossing is “nearing completion”.

It said the final phase will involve resurfacing and lining sections of Cot Hill, Dudley Road and Marshall Road from Monday, November 10, to Friday, November 14. To minimise disruption this work will be carried out overnight between 7pm and 6am, finishing on the Friday morning.
