Saltash roads to close for Friday’s Christmas lights switch-on

Driving through Saltash town centre on Friday evening? You might want a different plan.

Saltash Town Council has confirmed a list of road closures for this Friday (13 November), when the town’s Christmas Lights Switch-On Event takes over the streets. The closures run from 4pm to 9pm and are there so the event can operate safely.

Which roads are closed

These roads will be shut between 4pm and 9pm:

• Fore Street
• Wesley Road
• Station Road
• The A38 to B3271 slip road (into Saltash)
• Lower Fore Street, between the Fore Street and Station Road junctions
• Belle Vue Road, from the Fore Street junction to the long stay car park

The slip road is the one most likely to catch drivers out. Anyone leaving the A38 expecting to head into town that way will need another way in.

One-way system on Victoria Road

While the closures are in place, a one-way system will operate along Victoria Road, continuing onto King Edward Road until the Essa Road junction.

The council has published an online map showing all of the road closures.

“We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding,” the council said.
