IMPROVEMENTS to cycle and footway provision between the Wylds Rd/ The Drove junction and the A39 Bath Road, Bridgwater start today (Tuesday, May 7).
The work forms part of The Bridgwater Way project which is delivering a host of travel improvements to existing roads and junctions, as well as miles of new and improved routes for pedestrians and cyclists across the town and surrounding areas.
The hope is this will make cross-town travel easier and will specifically benefit young people travelling to and from Bridgwater College and Chilton Trinity School.
Separate County Council works to improve the pavement on Bristol Road and Wales & West Utility works to replace the gas main under Wylds Road also need to take place.
In order to minimise disruption, these three schemes will be delivered at the same time.
From May 7 to June 28 The Drove will be open to westbound traffic only between the A38 Bristol Road junction and the Wylds Road/The Drove junction.
Also starting on May 7 until June 14, Wylds Road will be open to northbound traffic only between the Wylds Road / The Drove junction and the A38 Bristol Road.
This is for the gas main replacement works.
