TRAFFIC chaos hit Melksham this week as six weeks worth of roadworks got off to a delayed start.

The stretch of road between Union Street and the Sainsbury's roundabout is shut so a £50,000 Wales & West Utilities project to replace gas pipes can get underway.

The project was due to start on February 4 but delays meant the road wasn't closed until Monday.

The impact has already been felt by commuters using the Western Way bypass which has been regularly gridlocked.

• There will be temporary traffic lights in St Margaret's Street in Bradford on Avon from Monday to Friday to allow the pedestrian crossing to be fixed.
