A road leading into Looe is to be closed for up to two and a half weeks for tree felling and bank stabilisation work. The work on St Martin’s Road is at the bottom of the hill by the Sandplace Road junction. The road is expected to close on May 3 and will re-open by May 20. It will remain shut for 24-hours a day during the works period. Cornwall Council says every effort will be made to finish the works ahead of schedule. The works will repair damage caused by a large tree that blew over in the January storms. Diversion signs will direct traffic along the A387 Sandplace Road via Morval and Widegates and vice versa. Temporary traffic lights will be installed on Barbican Hill to help manage the traffic flow.
