The closing is effective from 9 a.m. today (Friday, April 1) so that work can be done on the pub The White Horse Inn after its roof was damaged by storms earlier this month, the pub explained. It is the A388 section from The White Horse Inn to the Sputs Shop on Dutson Road that will be affected.
The off-road section also serves as a link between Launceston and neighboring towns and villages in much of northern Cornwall.
