PART of a major route into Bradford on Avon is to be temporarily closed to all traffic from 9am to 3pm between October 3 and 10.

The closure will affect part of the A363 Frome Road from its junction with Junction Road to its junction with St Margaret’s Street.

The move will enable contractors to carry out resurfacing and associated maintenance works.

The diversion northbound is via the A363 Junction Road to the A363, A361, Elizabeth Way, B3106, B3105, B3107 and A363.

The alternative route southbound is via the A363 St Margaret’s Street to the A363 Junction Road.

The closure and diversion routes north and south will be clearly indicated by traffic signs.

It is expected the works will take the stated duration to complete depending upon weather conditions.

Access will be maintained for residents and businesses where possible, although delays are likely.
