Drivers are being warned that a major A-road through a Wiltshire town is set to close for resurfacing.

As previously reported, the A346 Herd Street and Barn Street in Marlborough are due to close from June 11 until June 26, between the hours of 7pm and midnight.

As this significant project draws nearer, which will close a busy road through Marlborough near the town centre, a public question and answer session has been scheduled.

Representatives from Wiltshire Council and contractor AtkinsRéalis will be present at the Marlborough Town Council planning committee meeting on Monday, May 18.

They will give a short explanation of the nature of the works and how the road closure will impact residents and drivers.



It is expected that town councillors will have the opportunity to ask questions and raise any concerns about the road closure.

Plans given to the town council show that the work is due to take place in four sections.

Work will move from the junction between the A346 and the A4 New Road up Barn Street and then Herd Street towards The Common, according to these plans.

The road will only be closed during the hours that work is ongoing, between 7pm and midnight.
