A key A-road through Wiltshire has been closed for a major roadworks project.
The A36 was closed by National Highways between Knook and Fisherton De La Mere on Friday, May 8, at around 8pm.
The busy road, which links Warminster and the rest of West Wiltshire to the A303 and Salisbury, has been shut in both directions for the entire weekend of Saturday, May 9.
This closure is in place to allow National Highways crews to carry out construction work that will “improve and upgrade” the busy stretch of road.

During this time, the AA has warned drivers that they are likely to face delays in the area.
Its traffic monitoring service said: “Road closed and delays expected due to weekend roadworks until the early hours of Monday morning on A36 both ways from Malmpit Hill to Station Road.”
During the closure, a diversion route is in place that takes drivers via the A390 and Chitterne Road or Crockerton roundabout, the A350 and the A303, in both directions.
