BROOKS ROAD Closure in STREET

Brooks Road in Street, Somerset, will be closed to traffic from 06:00 on 15 August 2026 until 18:00 on 19 August 2026, due to a major works project undertaken by Somerset Council. The closure will significantly impact local traffic, with drivers advised to use alternative routes to avoid delays. This disruption is the latest in a series of ongoing works across the region, highlighting the need for motorists to stay informed and plan ahead.

The works, scheduled to last for five days, will see Brooks Road completely shut to traffic, with no through-route available during this time. Drivers are urged to check traffic apps and websites for updates on the road closure and to plan their journeys accordingly. Alternative routes such as the A39 and A361 may be congested due to increased traffic volumes, so motorists are advised to allow extra time for their journeys. Those with no alternative but to travel through the area are advised to follow all traffic signs and directions from highway staff and traffic marshals, who will be present to oversee the situation.

Somerset Council has confirmed that the works are essential to the region's infrastructure and will ultimately benefit local residents and commuters. The authority has worked closely with partners to minimise disruption and ensure that the works are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Motorists are advised to be patient and understanding, as the benefits of the works will be long-lasting and will contribute to the overall improvement of the region's roads.

For those reliant on public transport, regular services will operate as normal, although there may be slight delays due to road conditions. Passengers are advised to check with their transport provider for up-to-date information on service times and any potential disruptions. Pedestrians and cyclists are also advised to exercise caution when navigating the closed area, as traffic management measures may be in place to ensure public safety.

While the closure may cause inconvenience, drivers are advised to remain vigilant and stay informed about the latest traffic updates. Checking traffic apps and websites regularly will help to ensure a smooth journey. Additionally, following social media accounts and signing up for email alerts from Road Closures UK will keep motorists informed about the latest road closure information in the region.
