Closure planned for B3081 in Bruton, Somerset while resurfacing takes place

A road closure is in place while resurfacing work takes place as part of a wider maintenance scheme.

Somerset Council's highways team are resurfacing a section of the B3081 in Bruton.

Station Road will be closed Monday to Friday for the next two weeks between the hours of 18:30 BST and 23:30 BST.

The works, which are the final part of the town's maintenance programme, were originally due to take place in the summer.

Councillor Mike Rigby, lead member for transport and digital, said: "Thanks to everyone in and around Bruton for their patience.

"This section of resurfacing was originally due to be carried during the summer but we had some challenges which impacted on that earlier scheme, so a decision was taken to stagger the remainder of the work and return at a later date."

Access for residents and businesses in the immediate area will be maintained throughout and a diversion will be in place.

Mr Rigby added: "We hope that doing this essential resurfacing under an evening closure on weekdays reduces disruption on the network, but please ensure you plan ahead."
