Highways consultants working for Wiltshire Council have issued an update on the work taking place on the A350 through Westbury.

AtkinsRéalis say that due to a change in design, the works along the A350 Warminster Road in Westbury will now be night-time only, there will no longer be any day-time closures.

They added: “The working hours for the duration of the scheme will be 19:00 – 06:00 with no weekend working. Signs on site will be altered to reflect this change.”
