A KEY road connecting Amesbury and Bulford will see some daytime temporary closures later this month as Wiltshire Council carries out road improvement work.

The Salisbury Road in Bulford will be closed between 9.30am and 3pm from Monday, April 28 to Wednesday, April 30.

This will allow the council’s highways team to carry out surface dressing works, adjust ironworks and reinstate road marking and other associated work.

The council says the work on the road marking and ironworks could, however, be completed at a later date.

A diversion will be in place which will see motorists travel on the A345 Countess Road instead of Salisbury Road.

Pedestrian access will be retained, but some residents may experience a delay in accessing or leaving their property in a vehicle.

“There will be points during the material laying process where vehicular access will be restricted as residents won’t be able to drive over the newly laid material, as early trafficking could lead to premature failure, therefore it has been recommended to residents that if works are being undertaken in the vicinity of their property to speak to the workforce in advance to ask if there will be any restrictions with regards to access,” a spokesperson said.
