VIDEO, PICTURES UPDATE: Gritters stay on the roads as main routes reopen
FRESH snowfall overnight brought more problems for drivers across South Devon on Wednesday morning.
Lorries using the main A380 road between Newton Abbot and Exeter were being held at Kingsteignton due to snowy conditions on the higher ground at Haldon, where significant quantities of snow fell in the night.
By Wednesday afternoon Devon County Council said its gritters remained out in force across the county, keeping all main routes open and passable with care.
Devon County Council, the Highways Agency, and Devon and Cornwall Police were advising drivers to continue to check the weather forecast and road conditions before they set out.
