Enhanced public spaces and travel improvements at Roundstone Street, Trowbridge progressing

The second phase of improvements to enhance public spaces and active travel routes along Roundstone Street in Trowbridge is progressing well.

From 6 May 2025 through to 16 July 2025, improvement works will advance further along Roundstone Street, with the road closure shifting from the current location of Yerbury Street junction to Polebarn Road junction.

Throughout these works, temporary traffic management measures will be in place 24 hours a day to ensure the safety of residents, road users and contractors.

This scheme aims to improve pedestrian access by reviewing footpath widths, reinforcing the pedestrian route along Roundstone Street, and introducing formal crossings for pedestrians and cyclists to connect with Hilperton Road.

The improvement works will be carried out between 7am and 7pm, Monday to Saturday. Temporary access restrictions for residents and businesses may occur due to site operations, but businesses will be contacted in advance to limit any inconvenience. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times and dedicated traffic management operatives will be present to assist motorists and pedestrians with access as required.

Overnight road resurfacing will also be carried out at three points during the project, between 7pm and 11:59pm. Further information about traffic management and resurfacing details for subsequent phases will be shared nearer the time.

Sam Howell, Director - Highways and Transport, said: "We are pleased with how the works are progressing and we are now at the point of moving to the Polebarn Road junction to carry out the remainder of the second phase of works. We understand these works may cause some disruption, and we appreciate the continued patience and understanding of local businesses and residents. To minimise the impact, we will temporarily pause the works during the summer holiday period. The final phase will then resume from October 2025 to March 2026 to complete the works.
