A main road into a Wiltshire town is set to be resurfaced next month amidst a major project.
The A361 dual carriageway into Devizes from the Swindon direction has been earmarked for carriageway resurfacing and other associated works.
This stretch of road has been reduced to one operational lane in both directions since January due to the ongoing National Grid project to remove 13 electricity pylons from the area.
Drivers have previously noted a large “bump” in the road in both directions, and it is hoped this will be resolved during the resurfacing.
Wiltshire Council has published a notice warning that the southbound carriageway will close at the roundabout with Horton Road for a distance of 2.5km in a northeasterly direction.
This closure will be in place between the hours of 7pm and 6am from September 21 until October 6.

West End will also close at the junction with the A361, and there will be 30mph speed restrictions on both roads.
The notice said: “The speed restriction will be required 24 hours a day.
“It is anticipated that the works will take the stated duration to complete depending upon weather conditions.
“Access will be maintained for residents and businesses where possible, although delays are likely due to the nature of the works.”
