Chard Road Closed: Churchinford Road

Motorists are being warned of a planned roadworks scheme on Churchinford Road in Chard, Somerset, which is set to cause disruption from August 7 to August 11. The highway authority, Somerset Council, will be undertaking minor roadworks on Churchinford Road, with the works expected to begin on August 7 at 06:00 and conclude on August 11 at 18:00. Drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance and consider using alternative routes to avoid the affected area.

The roadworks, which are described as medium severity, will impact traffic flow on Churchinford Road, and drivers may experience delays during peak hours. Motorists are urged to check traffic apps and websites for the latest updates on traffic conditions before embarking on their journeys. This will help them to make informed decisions about the best routes to take and to avoid the affected area.

Churchinford Road is a key route in the area, and the roadworks are expected to cause congestion on surrounding roads. Drivers who are travelling to and from Exeter, which is the nearest city, are advised to leave extra time for their journeys and to consider using alternative routes, such as the A358 or the A37. These routes may take longer, but they will help to avoid the traffic congestion caused by the roadworks.

The roadworks are necessary to maintain the safety and condition of Churchinford Road, and Somerset Council has apologised for any inconvenience caused to drivers. The authority has assured motorists that the works will be completed as soon as possible and that they are working hard to minimise the disruption to traffic flow.

Drivers are also advised to follow the instructions of traffic management signs and to follow the directions of traffic marshals if they are present on the site. In addition, motorists are urged to be mindful of the speed limit and to drive safely through the affected area.
