A busy A-road in Wiltshire will close as 'urgent' gas repair works take place.
The A420 through Chippenham will close for five days, a decision which Wiltshire Council says is "in the interests of public safety".
It comes after concerns over gas mains in the town has led to 'urgent replacement works' being scheduled at Ivy Lane.
The work will be carried out by Wales and West Utilities and is due to begin on Monday, August 11.
A section of the A420 between Spanbourn Avenue Car Park and Ivy Lane Primary School in Chippenham will remain closed to all traffic until Friday, August 15, 2025.
"Access will be maintained for residents and
businesses where possible, although delays are likely due to the nature of the works."
Drivers are being advised to divert via the A4 Bath Road, Rowden Hill, Hungerdown Lane, Bristol Road and New Road.
