A36 Wilton Roundabout roadworks to be cleared tomorrow
SGN have told a local councillor they'll finish early
There's some good news on those roadworks that have been causing disruption in Wilton this week - they're due to be cleared by tomorrow evening (Friday 15th November).
SGN have been the A36 Wilton roundabout, replacing old metal gas pipes with new and more reliable plastic ones.
Bur four way temporary traffic lights have been creating long tailbacks of traffic and significant delays for drivers and bus services.
In a message from the gas supplier to local Wiltshire Councillor Pauline Church, SGN have said:
"We’d like to provide an update regarding the gas works taking place on the Wilton Roundabout (A36). These works are essential to ensure we can maintain a safe and efficient supply of gas to residents, businesses, and wider community.
"Engineering works will be complete on Wednesday, followed by road reinstatement – the traffic lights will be removed by 6.00pm on Friday 15 November.
"Please note, the traffic lights will remain in place until reinstatement is complete and the road surface set and safe for vehicles to drive on. There will be limited visibility of engineers on site while the road surface is curing.
"We’re sorry for the inconvenience these works have caused and thank you for your patience and understanding."
That's not the end of roadworks along Wilton Road as a whole though.
From Monday (18th November), National Highways will be working on theA36 between the Wilton roundabout and Skew Bridge.
The road will closed in both direction each weeknight from 8.00pm until 6.00am - through until Wednesday 4th December.
That's to allow for resurfacing along the route, with the road open as normal during the day and at weekends.
There'll be a diversion route in place during the work, taking drivers along the A360 and The Avenue, with signs up on the St Paul's roundabout.
Residents living within the closure will need to be escorted through the work area, with escort vans positioned at all accesses and side roads to assist.
There's a warning some of the work will be noisy too, and National Highways apologise for any inconvenience caused.
