The following information has been shared by B&NES Council’s Highways Maintenance Team:
Resurfacing works will take place overnight on the A4 Bath Road in Saltford from Monday 1st August 2022 and are expected to take up to 1 week to complete, depending on the weather. Please see here for a copy of the information below and a map outlining the works.
Work will be carried out under road closures between 7pm and 7am. Any cars parked within
the closure may be removed so as not to delay this work. The road will be re-opened to
traffic at the end of each night’s work. One.network have information about the works here. Diversions to achieve the works will be in place (see alternative route below).
Residents will need to make their own arrangements to find alternative parking.
Unfortunately, this also applies to disabled parking spaces within the area of work, we
apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Diversion routes will be in place for local traffic and advance notices positioned along the
route to warn drivers of the road closure (see map over for closure extents).
B&NES Council state they always try to complete works as quickly as possible, but please be aware the timeframe given is a guide and that poor weather or good progress on site may mean the timings can
change.
Restricted vehicle access for residents’ private frontages within the road closures will be
maintained whenever possible and when it is safe and as site operations allow. Access will
be controlled by Traffic Marshalls, who will also give advice on likely access windows as the
works progress.
Unfortunately, there will be times when access will not be possible, so please be prepared
for delays, disruption and make alternative arrangements before this work starts.
Please consider providing advance warning to any deliveries or visitors you may expect
during this period and suggest they find alternative routes as there will be no through access
of the site while the closure is in place.
Just so you know:
- Emergency services will always be given access when responding to an emergency.
- Bus operators have been informed and will be re-routing services if needed.
- We are working with our Waste Service Team to try and ensure collections are not
disrupted, although regrettably there will be occasions when this is not possible.
Bath and North East Somerset Council are working in partnership with our Contractor Volker
Highways, to maintain our highway network. They follow strict protective measures to keep
themselves and others safe during the works. Please respect social distancing guidelines
and allow them to carry out their roles.
