Travelling to Plymouth
Road.
The city is easily reached by road from the east by the dual carriage A38 "Devon Expressway", which links into the motorway network (M5) and other major trunk routes (A30 / A303 / A35) at Exeter. The A38 continues westwards from Plymouth into Cornwall via the Tamar bridge.

The city's coach station is only 100 yards from Palace Court (the home of the School of Civil and Structural Engineering); the luxury service from London's Victoria coach station takes 4 1/2 hours.
