Roadworks will take place on a main road through Portishead for a month as part of an £800,000 highway improvements scheme. Work started today (Monday, January 9) and will last for 31 days, eventually finishing on Friday, February 17.
The scheme will see a full programme of maintenance works on West Hill, including carriageway resurfacing and footway and kerbing works. A diversion route will be in place during the six-phase schedule.
During phases one and three, there will be temporary two-way lights. Roads affected are Nore Road, Coombe Avenue, West Hill Gardens, Avon Way and Down Road. Throughout the remaining phases daytime road closures will be in place from 8am to 5pm.
