Evening closures of A39 27th – 28th August

A39 Quantock Road will be closed from a point east of Skimmerton Lane to Sandford Roundabout from 19:00 to 23:30. The closure will be during the period 27th to 28th August “for one day within the stated period and as signed on-site”. The closure is for “Surface Dressing Works on behalf of Somerset Council”. The extent of the closure can be seen in the first map on the left. The closed section is shown in red; you can click on the map to expand it.
For any further information about this closure please contact Somerset Highways on 0300 123 2224 quoting reference: SM11/0524 – SD007744.

On the same evenings a similar closure will take place further west on the A39. New Road and Main Road will be closed between a point to the east of Blackmore Lane and the Cannington roundabout – see the second map. The reference for this closure is SM13/0524 – SD007746.

It is not clear from the published information whether the two sections of the A39 will be closed on the same evening, or whether the closures will be split over the two evenings. If they are on the same evening, there will be no direct access from Wembdon to Cannington and beyond, and access to Perry Green will be through Wembdon.

A signed diversion route will be in place, taking westbound traffic via the A38, Priorswood, and the A358, and eastbound in the reverse direction. The A39 traffic will not be diverted through Wembdon.
