Castle Cary: Station Rd Closed

Motorists in the Castle Cary area are being warned of a major roadworks project on Station Road that will cause significant disruption to traffic for the next four months. The works, which are scheduled to start on August 14, 2026, at 07:30, are expected to continue until November 30, 2026, at 17:30. The project is being carried out by Somerset Council, the local highway authority, and will affect commuters traveling between Bath and other surrounding areas.

Station Road will be closed to traffic during the works, with diversions in place to direct drivers around the affected area. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes where possible. Checking traffic apps and websites regularly can help drivers stay up-to-date with the latest traffic information and avoid congestion. The diversion route will add extra time to journeys, so drivers are encouraged to leave early to ensure they arrive at their destination on time.

The works are expected to cause medium-level disruption, with some delays and congestion anticipated during peak hours. However, the Somerset Council has assured that the project will be carried out as efficiently as possible, with a minimum of disruption to local residents and businesses. The council has also promised to keep the public informed about the progress of the works and any changes to the schedule.

Motorists are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to follow the diversion signs when traveling through the Castle Cary area. The Somerset Council has also urged drivers to be patient and to report any issues or concerns to their customer service team. The council is committed to keeping the roads safe and well-maintained, and this project is part of its ongoing efforts to improve the local infrastructure.

The roadworks project is part of a larger scheme to upgrade the road network in the Castle Cary area, which is aimed at improving safety, reducing congestion, and enhancing the overall driving experience. While the works are underway, drivers are being encouraged to use public transport, walk, or cycle where possible. For those who need to drive, using alternative modes of transport or adjusting their travel habits can help reduce the impact of the roadworks.

By planning ahead and staying informed, drivers can minimize the disruption caused by the roadworks and ensure a smooth journey through the Castle Cary area.
