Topsham Road is still undergoing repairs from a gas leak and remains closed to the public.
Darryl Goddard, Wales & West Utilities Area Engineering Manager for South West England, says:
"We are still working in the Topsham Road area to repair a gas leak caused by a water company damaging our network.
"Topsham Road, which was previously closed by the water company, will need to remain closed in order to keep road users, pedestrians and our colleagues safe while we work. All diversion routes are clearly signposted.
“Our engineers are working round the clock, as safely and as quickly as they can to repair the leak. We will keep local people updated.
"This is a complex job, and the difficult weather conditions have further delayed our progress. Barring any further unforeseen circumstances, we expect to complete our repair work this afternoon (01 March). When our work is finished, we will be handing the site back to the water company who will then need to finish their work before they can reopen the road.
"No gas supplies to homes or businesses have been affected by this damage.
“We appreciate that keeping Topsham Road closed is not ideal, but it is important that we fix this leak now, in order to continue to provide a safe and reliable supply of gas to homes and businesses in the area.”
