Other schemes on the A38, such as works on the Forder Valley Link Road, also continue to affect motorists.
Plymouth City Council has helpfully put out a list of roadworks that will be taking place across the city over the next week.
The council is responsible for coordinating works carried out by utility companies, developers and other organisations as well as their own repair, maintenance and improvement works.
They maintain all public roads in Plymouth except the A38, which is managed by Highways England on behalf of the Department for Transport.
“We know there's no good time to close roads, especially on busy routes and we do everything we can to co-ordinate planned works and minimise their impact on our transport network,” a City Council spokesman said.
The following roadworks are taking place in Plymouth between Monday, February 14 and Saturday, February 19
