The closure is described as being for reactive carriageway patching.

Wiltshire Council has issued a statement that says the works are reactive maintenance which “involves responding to issues as they arise”.

Trowbridge Town Council stated: “The order is required to enable Wiltshire Council to carry out urgent carriageway patching and associated works.

“The closure and diversion route will be clearly indicated by traffic signs. Access will be maintained for residents and businesses where possible, although delays are likely due to the nature of the works.”
