Multiple routes are set to close in a Wiltshire town during a significant road repair scheme lasting over a month.

Extensive carriageway works have been programmed for Malmesbury during the next two months, which will see several roads closed for repairs and other projects.

The project will involve repairing the existing carriageway, the installation of new road markings, and the adjustment of surface ironwork. 

This will begin with Old Alexander Road on Thursday, September 26, before moving to Park Road the following day.

Work will continue at Park Road until Wednesday, November 2.

This will be followed by roadworks at St Aldhelm and Burnham Roads between Thursday, November 3, to Friday, November 11.

All of the above works will be carried out under temporary road closures, between the hours of 9am and 3.30pm.

There will be no work on weekends and the roads will remain open to traffic outside of working hours.

Drivers have been warned that there may be changes to this schedule in the event of plant breakdowns, poor weather, or the need for additional repairs.

There will also be points at which vehicular access will not be possible due to machinery in the road, or vehicles not being able to drive over newly laid material.

Residents have been warned to expect delays and allow extra time.
