Off the A38 now, this is Havett Road - the road to the (now closed) Dobwalls Theme Park, which has been diverted to allow the construction of a bridge.

A country lane - called Tremabe Lane,  that's been closed during the bypass construction. It's already looking very overgrown and abandoned.

Dobwalls used to have a temporary one-way system which would take traffic around a huge roundabout consisting of the A38, A390 and a B-road. It was used on Summer Saturdays, but it no longer appears to be in operation, maybe because the roadworks further east are now more liable to holding up the traffic.

A large, and pretty new flip panel sign, signifying that the system was in use until recently - last summer probably being the last time that it was used.

The bridge will pass over the railway here. It looks very high, especially as we're about to dive under it!You can see one embankment on the other side of the rail line.
