Amesbury road works

Porton Road Resurfacing Works

Wiltshire Council will be closing Porton Road, Amesbury during July 2021 to undertake resurfacing and associated works. The works have been phased to minimise the impact to road users and local residents, details of the phases can be found below. We will look to maintain access to the business park for as long as possible, in doing so we will need to install temporary traffic signals which may cause some delays in the area.

Residents and businesses are encouraged to make themselves known to the workforce who will look to accommodate access where possible. Signage will be erected to advise that businesses are open as normal.

Scheme phases

These works are being phased to maintain access to the business parks along the site. The phasing is as follows:

Phase 1 - Access from north (resurfacing taking place from Boscombe Road roundabout north to the Mills Way/Sunrise Way roundabout) - 6-9 July

Phase 2 - Access from south (resurfacing taking place from Mills Way/Sunrise Way roundabout north to the Solstice Park roundabout) - 12-14 July

Phase 3 - Lining and Ironwork all areas- 15-19 July (no weekend working)

During phase 3 there will be working in both sections, this is more minor works and therefore access will be maintained - there may just be short instances where those requiring access will be asked to drive the diversion route and gain access from an alternate entrance.

Temporary Closure of: Purton Road (Part), Amesbury (REF: TTRO 7298)

Notice is hereby given that the Wiltshire Council has made an Order to close temporarily to all traffic:

To enable: Wiltshire Council to carry out carriageway resurfacing and associated works.

Alternative route: via London Road - A345 - Smithfield Street - Earls Court Road - Boscombe Road - Pendragon Drive and vice versa.

This Order will come into operation on 06 July 2021 and the closure will be required between the hours of 09:00 and 15:30 until 19 July 2021. It is anticipated that the works will take the stated duration to complete depending upon weather conditions. Access will be maintained for residents and businesses where possible, although delays are likely due to the nature of the works. The Order will have a maximum duration of 18 months.
