Overnight closures on Fisherton Street and South Western Road
It's the latest disruption in the Gateway and Station Forecourt projects
Overnight closures will affect two Salisbury city centre roads from tonight (Monday 30th September) - in the latest disruption from the Fisherton Gateway and Station Forecourt projects.
South Western Road will be shut to all traffic from 7.30pm to 6.00am on weeknights for two weeks.
That's to allow for resurfacing work to take place.
Fisherton Street will also be closed at the same times for one week - between the South Western Road and Summerlock Approach junctions.
That's so the mini-roundabout by the railway bridge can be resurfaced.
Wiltshire Council say the closures are necessary for the safety of contractors, and won't be in place on Saturday and Sunday nights during the work.
Delivery drivers will be able to access Fisherton Street via Summerlock Approach, turning left to park up and make use of the loading bay.
There will be some impact on access to Salisbury train station particularly after 11.00pm when entry via South Western Road will be unavailable.
The Council say they're working closely with South Western Railway to minimise disruption and ensure the station continues to operate during this period.
Cllr Richard Clewer, Leader of Wiltshire Council, said:
“These overnight works represent the final significant phase of the Fisherton Gateway enhancements. We recognise the closures will cause some disruption, and we are doing everything we can to minimise this as much as possible.
“We are on track to complete the South Western Road enhancements by mid-October and would like to thank businesses and residents for their patience and co-operation in delivering these important schemes for Salisbury.
“This project, supported by the £9 million investment from the Future High Streets Fund is a key part of our plan to create vibrant, well-connected communities.”
