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.

Public Spirit, if you want to drive, do so and leave others to use much faster (given the situation) methods of transport, laughing as they pass you stuck in traffic!

It can hardly be called chaos...15/20 minute delays during the so called rush hour....get your lazy a**es out of bed a bit ealier and be thankful you don't live and work in a large city.....in fact....be thankful your able to work!
