Road Closure: HIGH STREET — Bath

Motorists in the Bath area are advised to plan their journeys carefully as High Street in Worton will be closed for the entirety of 30 November 2026, from 00:00 to 00:00. The closure, which is being undertaken by Wiltshire Council, is due to major works, classified as a Priority Area for Attention (PAA), and is expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. Drivers who normally use High Street in Worton should consider alternative routes to avoid delays, and are advised to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information before setting out.

Wiltshire Council, the highway authority responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the road network in the area, has scheduled the closure to allow for the necessary works to be carried out. While the exact nature of the works has not been disclosed, the fact that they have been classified as a PAA suggests that they are essential to maintaining the safety and integrity of the road. Drivers are advised to be patient and to allow extra time for their journeys, as traffic is likely to be heavier than usual on surrounding roads.

In order to minimise the impact of the closure, drivers are advised to plan their routes in advance and to consider using alternative roads to avoid the area altogether. There are several alternative routes that drivers can take, although the exact route will depend on the individual's starting and ending points. By using satnav systems or traffic apps, drivers can get the latest information on traffic conditions and plan their journeys accordingly. It is also a good idea to check for updates on social media and other online sources, as Wiltshire Council is likely to provide regular updates on the progress of the works.

The closure of High Street in Worton is likely to cause some disruption to local businesses and residents, and Wiltshire Council has apologised for any inconvenience that this may cause. However, the works are necessary to ensure that the road remains safe and usable, and the council is working to complete them as quickly as possible. In the meantime, drivers are advised to be aware of the closure and to plan their journeys accordingly.
