One of Wiltshire’s busiest A-roads has been gridlocked during “urgent” roadworks on a nearby route.
Drivers have been warned to expect significant delays on the A350 at Melksham after heavy traffic during the morning of Thursday, July 2.
There have been long, slow moving queues heading northbound on the A350, stretching from Farmers Roundabout back past Semington, near Trowbridge.
Northbound traffic on the A350 has been increased by the northbound closure of the A3102 Bath Road near New Broughton Road in town.
This has been in place since Wednesday, July 1, and it is expected to continue until Friday, July 3, while Wessex Water carries out urgent water main repairs in the area.

In a notice of the closure, Wiltshire Council warned drivers to expect delays.
It said: “The following length of road shall be closed to all traffic in the interests of public safety to enable Wessex Water to carry out urgent water main repair.
“The closure and diversion route will be clearly indicated by traffic signs.
“Access will be maintained for residents and businesses where possible, although delays are likely due to the nature of the works.”
