THE pothole ridden and busy A346 road through Savernake Forest will be closed overnight until Saturday (April 8) whilst resurfacing work takes place.

The damaged road will be closed from its junction with George Lane at Marlborough to the roundabout south of Burbage between 7pm and 6am. The road however will be open in the day.

The alternative route is via the A338, to the A342 through Everleigh and Upavon to Devizes, along the A361 to Beckhampton, to the A4 to Marlborough, onto the A346 and vice versa.

Road works began on Monday night.

The damage is particularly bad at Cadley and at Leigh Hill.
