Resurfacing works will take place at the above location(s) from Monday 10th August and are
expected to take up to 15 days to complete, depending on the weather.
Work will be carried out under a road closure between 7am and 7pm. This scheme will be
completed within 2 phases to minimise disruption. Advance notices will be positioned at the
entrances of the road to warn drivers of the road closure.
Phase 1 will be from the A368 to Newtown (Pony and Trap pub)
Phase 2 will be from Newtown to the junction of Denny Lane.
The Pony and Trap pub will be accessible throughout the works from either one end or the
other. The switchover will be when phase 1 is complete rather than a set date. This allows us
to finish work earlier than the duration advised if we make good progress rather than stopping.
Vehicles parked within the closure may be removed so as not to delay works. The road will be
re-opened to traffic at the end of each shift. Residents will need to make their own
arrangements to find alternative parking. Unfortunately, this also applies to disabled parking
spaces within the area of work, we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Restricted vehicle access for residents’ private frontages within the road closures will be
maintained whenever possible and when it is safe and as site operations allow. Access will be
controlled by Traffic Marshalls, who’ll also give advice on likely access windows as the works
progress. Unfortunately, there will be times when access will not be possible, so please be
prepared for delays, disruption and make alternative arrangements before these works start.
Please consider providing advance warning to any deliveries or visitors you may expect during
this period as there may be no access while the closure is in place.
Just so you know:
– Emergency services will always be given access when responding to an emergency.
– Bus operators have been informed and will be re-routing services if needed.
– We are working with our Waste Service Team to try and ensure collections are not
disrupted, although regrettably there will be occasions when this is not possible.
Bath and North East Somerset Council are working in partnership with our Contractor Volker
Highways, to maintain our highway network.
