Additionally, drivers can consider leaving earlier than usual or using alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or cycling, to reduce their reliance on the affected road.

Swindon Borough Council is responsible for promoting the works and ensuring that they are carried out with minimal disruption to drivers. The council's highway maintenance team will be working to complete the roadworks as quickly as possible, while also ensuring that the road is safe for drivers to use.
