Salisbury Station Forecourt to be resurfaced this week
It's part of the final enhancements in the project
The forecourt at Salisbury Railway Station will undergo resurfacing work this week (from Tuesday 22nd April), as part of the ongoing improvement project.
Wiltshire Council tell us it's part of the final phase of the £5.8 million works, which have been underway since summer 2024.
The latest work will see drainage gullies installed directly outside the station entrance overnight tonight (Tuesday 22nd April), Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th.
That needs to be done before resurfacing can take place from 8.00pm on Friday 25th April, through to 4.00am on Tuesday 29th - with staff on site 24 hours a day).
During that time, there'll be no access for vehicles from South Western Road, but pedestrian access will be maintained.
Drop off and pick up points will temporarily be moved to the lower car park (nearer Churchfields Road), along with access to the Stonehenge Tour buses.
Vehicles will only be able to access the station from the Churchfields Road side.
Taxi bays will move to South Western Road temporarily.
The station’s cycle hub will remain accessible from Churchfields Road and Mill Road.
New car park opening for Salisbury station
The new Fisherton Street car park, at the former East Goods Yard site will also open in time for the road closures.
That'll remain open for the foreseeable future.
Four traffic marshals will be on duty from Friday 25th April to Tuesday 29th April, with three marshals stationed in the forecourt area and one on Churchfields Road.
Parvis Khansari, Corporate Director - Place at Wiltshire Council, said: “We apologise in advance for any inconvenience and disturbance caused by these works. This is anticipated to be the last time we will need to undertake 24 hour working during this project.
“We would like to thank in particular the residents of Churchfields Road for their patience and continued co-operation in delivering this important scheme for Salisbury.
“Once the Station Forecourt scheme is complete it will provide a more attractive, and welcoming environment for visitors and residents alike.”
