A4 Bath Road

Bath and North East Somerset Council is advising people to plan their journeys between 6 – 17 May as resurfacing works are carried out overnight on the A4 Bath Road and A4 Bristol Road between Saltford and the A4 Globe Roundabout.

All works will be carried out overnight between 8pm and 7am to minimise disruption on one of the regions busiest roads. Works are expected to take 11 nights to complete, depending on weather.

The council will resurface 19,000m­2 of highway during the works, bringing an area equivalent to 73 tennis courts back to a high standard. Lining works will also be completed. This is the largest resurfacing scheme on the council’s resurfacing programme this year, which can be seen on the council’s website: https://www.bathnes.gov.uk/find-planned-street-works

Councillor Manda Rigby, Cabinet Member for Transport, said: “We know this is a busy highway in our network so have planned for all of our essential improvement works to take place overnight, which will greatly reduce any disruption they’ll cause. Please do plan your journey in advance if travelling in the area as these works are carried out.” 

Advanced notices and diversion routes for traffic will be in place leading up to and during the works. Diversion routes for these and all other roadworks can be seen on one.network, for information on affected bus services please visit the First Bus website: https://www.firstbus.co.uk/bristol-bath-and-west/news-and-service-updates/current-issues
