Somerset Council will be resurfacing one of the county’s key roads next week.
Work on the A361 High Street and Fore Street in Othery will be done across 13 nights from Wednesday 22 January to conclude Saturday 8 February.
The road will be closed to vehicles on week days only from 6.30pm to 11.30pm during these dates. It will be open at all other times except Saturday 8 February.
Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout for residents – there may be some restrictions or delays for vehicle access on occasion to some properties and residents should liaise with the site team on this.
Somerset Council’s Lead Member for Transport and Waste Services, Councillor Richard Wilkins said: “This is a really important scheme delivering a fresh surface on a busy, vital route across the Levels.
“It’s inevitable there will be disruption when we do this work, that’s why it is being done outside of peak hours.
“The team will do their best to get the work completed as quickly and painlessly as possible – please do liaise with them if you are a resident and need to raise any issues around access.
“We are extremely grateful to residents for their support and understanding while this work is done.”
Somerset Council is planning to carry out further works in the area in the coming months, including repairs to the A372 New Road and Loadpool and work on the A361 at East Lyng in the spring. More details to follow on these works.
