Walkers and cyclists are being given advance notice that Meldon Viaduct near Okehampton will be completely closed for around three weeks in September for resurfacing.
The 150-year-old viaduct, which is part of the Granite Way walking and cycling trail, is due to be closed from Monday 9 September to Friday 27 September.
The existing anti-slip surface will be removed and the timber deck will be inspected to ensure it is structurally safe, and where necessary it will be replaced. New anti-slip boards will then be installed on the full 165-metre span of the viaduct.
Throughout the duration of the scheme, temporary closure notices will be signed at key locations on the Granite Way, warning people they will not be able to access the viaduct. Unfortunately there is no suitable diversion route during the closure.
