Overnight road closures scheduled for Marlborough High Street and A4 Bath Road
By Swindon Now Editorial Team · Published
Marlborough motorists face a series of overnight closures on the High Street and A4 Bath Road starting this Thursday to facilitate essential resurfacing work.
Motorists in Marlborough are being warned of upcoming traffic disruption as a series of overnight closures are set to take effect on the town's High Street and a portion of the A4 Bath Road. The works, which involve essential carriageway resurfacing and the replacement of existing road markings, are scheduled to commence on Thursday, 29 October.
The disruption is expected to continue nightly until 3 November. During these periods, the roads will be inaccessible to vehicles between the hours of 7pm and midnight.
Two distinct sections of road have been identified for the maintenance programme:
A4 Bath Road: This closure will affect the stretch from the junction with the High Street, extending northwards past the Marlborough College Art School as far as the Marlborough College Library. This section covers approximately 135 metres.
Marlborough High Street: A second 135-metre section will be closed from the roundabout at St Peter's Church, running eastwards past the church and terminating near The Marlborough public house.
Drivers should be prepared for significant inconvenience during these hours, as the council has confirmed that an official 43-mile diversion route will be in operation. This diversion will take traffic through Burbage, Collingbourne Ducis, Upavon, Devizes, and the Beckhampton roundabout near Avebury to bypass the restricted sections.
Residents and regular road users are advised to plan their journeys in advance to account for the extended travel time required by the diversion.
