Wiltshire Council awards B4069 Lyneham Banks contract - with work due to start in the summer

Following a thorough procurement process, Wiltshire Council has announced its intention to award the contract to rebuild the B4069 at Lyneham Banks, along with significant drainage works, to Octavius Infrastructure Limited.

Work on site is due to begin in summer 2024 and the council expects the road to reopen in spring 2025.

Once the B4069 has reopened, the council will be undertaking repairs to the local road network, which has been subject to increased traffic during the closure of the road.

Cllr Nick Holder, Cabinet Member for Highways, said: "We're pleased to award the contract to rebuild the B4069 at Lyneham Banks to Octavius, after what has been a difficult time for the community.

"As well as the build, in its tender, Octavius committed to providing various local social benefits, including a meet the contractor event, project newsletters and community litter picks.

"We are committed to having well-connected communities in our Business Plan, and this rebuild project will reopen this road once again, which will be a positive step forward for the local community."
