'Busy route' to shut for three days for repairs

B3227 between Wiveliscombe and Taunton is closing for resurfacing work

Resurfacing work will close a Somerset road for three days this week.

The B3227 will be shut to traffic between Wiveliscombe and Taunton from Wednesday to Friday. The closure will be in place between 09:30 and 15:00 BST.

Residents will still be able to use the road but Somerset Council said there may be some restricted access to properties at times.

The authority's lead member for transport Richard Wilkins described it as an "important scheme" for a "busy route".

"We are extremely grateful to residents for their support and understanding while this work is done," Mr Wilkins added.

A council spokesperson added vehicle access could be restricted to some properties at times.

"Residents should liaise with the site team on this," they added.

It is hoped the work will be completed in one day, but it will be dependent on weather conditions, the council said.
