ONE of the busiest routes through Bridgwater town centre will be closed in the evenings over the coming weeks to allow for essential resurfacing works to go ahead.

Both Mount Street and Northgate will be closed from 6:30pm until 11:30pm on weekdays between Monday November 13 and Friday November 24.

The roads will remain open in the daytime outside of the specified hours, and all day on the weekend.

Councillor Mike Rigby, Somerset Council’s Executive Lead Member for Transport and Digital said: “Even though the summer has long passed, our resurfacing programme continues and moves to the centre of Bridgwater now.

“We know this is a busy road, so we hope that doing this important work outside of peak hours will reduce the disruptive impact a closure can have – but please ensure you plan ahead.”

Access for residents and businesses in the immediate area will be accommodated throughout although some delays can be expected.

A diversion will be in place with full details available nearer the time on www.somerset.gov.uk/roads-travel-and-parking/roadworks-and-travel/.
