Temporary traffic lights are causing major delays in Teignmouth today.

A multi-way traffic light system was put in place at the junction of Inverteign Drive and Bishopsteignton Road causing long tailbacks.

The works to install utilities including sewer system and gas connection for a new house are expected to take three weeks to complete.

Some drivers reported it taking an hour to drive from the railway station to the Tesco garage this morning.

The temporary traffic lights are scheduled to be in place until October 26.
