Road closures: four for Mendip drivers this week

Drivers in and around Mendip will have four National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A303, from 9pm October 22 to 6am October 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A303 Podimore to Sparkford lane closure and traffic signals for Sparkford to Ilchester improvement scheme.

And a further three closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A36, from 10pm October 24 to 6am October 25, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A36 Standerwick traffic lights for installation of bat boxes in preparation to main structure repairs.

• A36, from 9am October 27 to 3pm October 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A36 both directions Beckington mobile lane closure for drainage.

• A303, from 9pm October 29 to 6am October 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A303 Podimore to Sparkford lane closure and traffic signals for Sparkford to Ilchester improvement scheme.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
