Cheddar area roadworks for week commencing August 10

Temporary traffic lights are planned on the crossroads where the A38 meets Cross Lane and Old Coach Road at Cross this week.

The multi-way lights are scheduled to be used at the crossroads from Wednesday (August 12) to Friday (August 14).

They are set to be in place to enable BT to check their network, and the lights will be manually operated at peak times and other times when required to control traffic flow.

However, at the same time, Old Coach Road is due to be closed between the crossroads and the junction with Webbington Road.

The closure starts on Monday (August 10) and is scheduled to last until September 20, to allow Gigaclear to lay fibre optic cables.

Other roadworks in the Cheddar area scheduled this week include:

Hannay Road and Warrens Hill, in Cheddar, are due to be closed from 8am to 4pm on Sunday (August 16), to enable A-Plant Lux to carry out cabling works on behalf of BT Openreach.

Related to the closures and the works, there will also be multi-way temporary traffic lights on the Sunday at the crossroads where the B3135 meets Hannay Road and Round Oak Road.

The licence for scaffolding outside of The Dolphins, in Lower North Street, Cheddar, is set to remain in place until August 28.

However, the temporary traffic lights on the A371 Draycott Road out of Cheddar are set to be removed on Friday, which is when Wales and West Utilities are scheduled to have finished their work replacing a gas main.

On Wednesday, Western Power Distribution are set to be carrying out tree trimming works in Water Lane.

Finally, the Wales and West Utilities work to lay a new service in Birch Close is scheduled to be completed on Monday.
