Overview

Devon County Council is working with Teignbridge District Council to manage the design and construction of a new bridge and link road west of the A379 as part of the Dawlish Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) scheme.

The project will provide direct access to more than 400 new homes at Secmaton Farm and Swan Park in Dawlish.

It will also facilitate access to approximately 400 additional homes at Gatehouse Farm, including construction access.

The Dawlish HIF scheme includes the construction of:

  • A 26m span integral highway bridge
  • Approximately 110m of highway embankments on the approaches to the bridge, including carriageway and foot or cycleway
  • Approximately 360m of carriageway
  • Surface water and foul water drainage features
  • Drainage basins, swale and associated items
  • Ecological mitigation and enhancement features

Montel Civil Engineering were the main contractor for the works which started in 2023 and completed in late 2024.
