Drivers face hour-long 41-mile diversion as major roadworks planned on A38

The A38 is set to close for ten nights at the end of May to enable North Somerset Council to carry out emergency repairs.

The road in Redhill will close between 8pm and 6am on Sunday, May 22 through to Wednesday, June 1. A diversion route set up to accommodate for the closure stretches for over 41 miles and takes an hour and 14 minutes, taking commuters all the way to Weston-super-Mare and back through North Somerset.

There are a number of businesses on the stretch of road set to be closed, such as a Holiday Inn popular with jet-setters heading to Bristol Airport and a number of lodges and pubs which will be affected. North Somerset Council has been approached for a comment on whether the road will still be accessible for users of these businesses, reports Somerset Live.
