The main A-road through a Wiltshire town is set to undergo a month of resurfacing works.

Wiltshire Council has confirmed it will be resurfacing the A361 London Road in Devizes from Monday, October 6, until Friday, October 31.

The major project will be carried out in six phases, starting at the junction with Brickley Lane and stretching to the junction with Horton Road.

During each phase, work will happen between 7pm and 6am, with road closures in place during this time.

As previously reported, these works will be preceded by resurfacing road on the A361 dual carriageway to the north of the town, between September 21 and October 6.



Jack Hanlon, a representative for council contractor AtkinsRéalis, has authored a letter advising residents who may be impacted by the works.

He said: “Due to the nature of the works and the local environment, they will be carried out within a temporary road closure.

“There will be points throughout the works period where vehicular access will not be possible as plant may be obstructing the road or material may be newly laid.

“I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for any inconvenience these works will cause, but trust you will appreciate the necessity for these essential works to maintain Wiltshire's highway network.”
