URGENT patching repair works will partially close a Taunton town centre road next week.

The works will be carried out on Priory Bridge Road starting from Tuesday, May 28.

Somerset Council is warning residents and motorists that partial closures will be needed on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening.

A spokesperson said: “Our team needs to carry out urgent patching repairs to Priory Bridge Road in Taunton next week.

“We’ll be using new, innovative equipment which means we only need to partially close the road for a couple of hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings, 28-30 May, from 6.30pm to 9.30pm.

“Please note, on Tuesday and Wednesday there will be no access to the town beyond Morrisons heading west from the Wicks roundabout direction but you will be able to reach the Wicks roundabout travelling east.

“On Thursday, this changes to no access turning into Priory Bridge Road from Station Road, but access available coming from the Wicks Roundabout direction. Diversions and signage will be in place.”
