Road Closure: APPLE TREE CLOSE — Bristol

Motorists in the Bridgwater area are advised to plan ahead as Apple Tree Close will be closed for roadworks from 03 August 2026 at 00:00 to 05 August 2026 at 00:00. The closure, which is categorised as medium severity, is due to minor roadworks and is being carried out by Somerset Council, the local highway authority. Drivers who regularly use Apple Tree Close should consider alternative routes to avoid potential delays, especially those commuting from nearby Bristol.

The roadworks are expected to cause some disruption to traffic in the area, and drivers are advised to check for updates before embarking on their journeys. Somerset Council has planned the works to minimise disruption, but some delays are still expected. To avoid getting caught in traffic, drivers can use traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps to get real-time updates on traffic conditions and plan their routes accordingly. Alternative routes will be signposted, but it is still a good idea for drivers to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys.

Somerset Council has assured motorists that the roadworks are necessary to maintain the condition of the road and ensure safety for all users. The authority is working to complete the works as quickly as possible, but the closure will remain in place until 05 August 2026 at 00:00. In the meantime, drivers are advised to be patient and follow the diversion signs to avoid getting lost. The closure may also affect local businesses and residents, who are advised to plan ahead and make alternative arrangements if necessary.

For drivers who are not familiar with the area, it may be helpful to check a map or sat nav before embarking on their journey to get an idea of the alternative routes available. Additionally, drivers can tune into local radio stations for updates on traffic conditions and any other disruptions in the area. Somerset Council will also be providing updates on their website and social media channels, so drivers can stay informed about the latest developments.

The roadworks on Apple Tree Close are just one of many ongoing projects in the area, as Somerset Council works to maintain and improve the local road network.
