There are delays on a major A-road through Wiltshire after the route was blocked by a “crash.”

At the time of writing, shortly before 1pm on Sunday, March 22, traffic was queuing in both directions on the A429, north of junction 17 of the M4 at Chippenham.

Traffic monitoring services have warned drivers to expect delays on the key road linking Chippenham and Malmesbury because of an earlier “crash.”

The AA and traffic monitoring service INRIX have both warned that the earlier incident, first reported around midday, partially blocked the A429 near Seagry Road, just north of Lower Stanton St Quintin.



Around an hour later, traffic maps continue to show slow traffic in both directions causing problems for motorists.

The AA said: “Partially blocked and queueing traffic due to crash on A429 both ways near Seagry Road.”

INRIX added: “A429 both ways partially blocked, queueing traffic due to accident near Seagry Road.”
