A busy road in the centre of town will close for several nights after a leak was discovered.
The section of Fore Street passing Parade House, also known as Wicker Hill, will close for consecutive nights beginning on Tuesday, January 13.
The closures will begin at 7pm, and remain in place until 6am the following morning, with the road scheduled to fully reopen at 6am Saturday, January 17.
Traffic other than residents will be stopped at Castle Street’s junction with Market Street. Manvers Street will operate two-way for Ushers Court residents, while temporary traffic lights will be in place on Church Street and Conigre to manage traffic.
The closure is in place in order for Wessex Water to carry out “essential repairs” to a water leak in the area.
In a statement shared on social media announcing the closure, Wiltshire Council said: “Fore Street, known locally as Wicker Hill, in Trowbridge will be closed overnight from 7pm to 6am, starting on Tuesday 13 January until 6am on Saturday 17 January, while Wessex Water carries out essential repairs to a water leak.
“During the closure, through traffic will be stopped at Castle Street at the junction with Market Street and Manvers Street will operate as two-way traffic to allow Ushers Court residents only to access and exit the area. Temporary traffic lights will also be in place on Church Street and Conigre near Sainsbury’s to help manage traffic flow.
“All traffic management measures will be removed each morning at 6am and reinstated each evening at 7pm for the duration of the works.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience while the works take place.”
