Commuters face weeks of travel disruption amid major sewer repairs

Drivers are facing weeks of travel disruption as work to renovate sewers in a busy Somerset village gets underway. Road closures and temporary traffic lights will be in place across Backwell throughout March while Wessex Water carries out work to repair sewers in the village.

Work began this week and is likely to take until the end of the month to complete, with activity on-site on restricted to weekdays from 7.00 am and 11.00 pm, reports Somerset Live.

A complete closure is now active at Cherry Road from the junction of Orchard Road to Ivy Close and is expected to be in force until March 24.
