Essential roadworks to Holt Road in Bradford on Avon will start at 7pm this evening by closing the road from Whitehill in the town centre to the Forewoods Common junction.

Diversions will be in place for drivers, taking them through Woolley Green to eventually reach Forewoods Common where they can carry on their journey to Holt along the main road.

The contractor has said it intends to have the road re-opened by 6am on Saturday morning, by which time the road will have been resurfaced along the entire stretch.
