Octavius Secures Gen 5 Project at Exmouth in Devon

Octavius Infrastructure has secured their first project through the LOT 3 Gen 5 Framework with Devon County Council for the £7.5m Dinan Way improvements at Exmouth.

The Dinan Way project at Exmouth includes the construction of an 850m stretch of two-way carriageway with two connecting roundabouts between the junction of Dinan Way / Hulham Road and the A376 Exmouth Road. There will be a new shared pedestrian and cycle path on the southern side of Dinan Way that will enable pedestrians and cyclists from the northeast of Exmouth to access the A376, bus stops and provide connectivity to other proposed future sustainable transport pedestrian and cycle routes around the Wotton Valley area. 

Octavius Delivery Director for Highways, Chris Hudson commented. “Our works will commence this December and are anticipated to be complete by December 2025. Once completed our works will divert traffic from Exmouth Town Centre and reduce congestion to residential areas such as Summer Lane. It will also improve sustainable travel options for local communities including safer and more accessible onward connectivity to the Exe Estuary Trail, a 26Km cycle route through beautiful villages along a wonderfully level route taking in RSPB reserves offering some of the best opportunities to view wildlife along the estuary.

We are therefore delighted to be playing our part in supporting Devon County Councils objectives to positively address climate concerns, drive sustainable economic recovery and enhance the health and wellbeing of their communities.”
