THE A396 between Black Cat Junction and Oakfordbridge will be shut until the end of the month to allow for urgent repair work following a landslip.
Devon County Council said the road needed immediate attention after a five-metre section and its supporting embankment slipped.
The work is expected to last until January 31, including weekends.
