Traffic Signals Upgrade - Braunton Junction

Devon County Council is seeking a contractor to upgrade traffic signals at the Braunton junction on the A361. The work involves installing two sections of underground traffic signal ducts and associated draw-pits within existing footways on Caen Street and Chaloners Road (which have asphalt and brick paved surfaces). The primary objective is to upgrade the existing system to MOVA (Microprocessor Optimised Vehicle Actuated) operation to improve traffic flow and responsiveness to real-time demand. Following completion of civil works, DCC's separately appointed traffic signal contractor will install new traffic signal loops connected to the controller. Most works will proceed under temporary four-way traffic signal control. However, installation of two new traffic loops on the A361 (Exeter Road) requires temporary overnight closure of South Street and Heanton Street, with traffic management supplied by the Principal Contractor. This is a Work Order procurement under the Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026-30, Lot 1, using the quotation procedure.
