A303 re-opens after overnight closure
A stretch of the road was closed overnight for roadworks
Last updated 29th Sep 2024
The A303 has now reopened after overnight works.
The road was closed in both directions between the A37/A372 turn off at Podimore and the A371 turn off at Wincanton. The overnight roadworks were expected to finish at 6am, but had to be extended due to equipment issues.
The overnight closure is due to the latest phase of work on the Sparkford to Ilchester scheme to dual the road. The project is expected to finish next year and is hoped will ease traffic congestion.
A 50 miles an hour speed limit remains in place to allow contractors to work safely.
