Temporary Closure of Bradford Road 10th – 21st April 2017
Temporary Closure of C391 Bradford Road (Part), Winsley.
10th – 21st April 2017.
Notice is hereby given that the Wiltshire Council has made an Order to close temporarily to all traffic: C391 Bradford Road (Part), Winsley; from its junction with Dane Rise to a point approximately 100m east of Tyning Road.
To enable: Wales and West Utilities to carry out gas mains replacement and connection work.
Alternative route: via C391 Bradford Road / Limpley Stoke Road (unaffected length)
B3108 Winsley Bypass – C391 Winsley Road / Bradford Road (unaffected length) and vice versa.
The closure and diversion route will be clearly indicated by traffic signs.
This Order will come into operation on 10 April 2017 and it is anticipated that the closure will be required daily until 21 April 2017. It is anticipated that the works will take the stated duration to complete depending upon weather conditions. Access will be maintained for residents and businesses, although delays are likely due to the nature of the works. The Order will have a maximum duration of 18 months.
For further information please contact Steve Wilshire (Wales and West Utilities) on 0117 3013359.

Summary of the issues in two phases.
Once a definite plan has been agreed it will be published on this website.
Phase 1: Works on the Bradford Road / Dane Rise junction from 10/4/17 to approximately 17/4/17. During this time, buses would only be able to serve Tynings Road, missing out the western part of Winsley including the bus stops at the Seven Stars and Dorothy House. Access along Dane Rise to Bradford Road would not be possible during this time as there would be a hole in the road, and so passengers from these areas would need to either board at Tynings Road or at temporary bus stops on the bypass which would be far from ideal.
Phase 2: Works on the Bradford Road / Tyning Road junction 18/4/17 to 21/4/17. During this phase, buses would not be able to run through the Tyning Road estate, but could possibly serve the western end by using Dane Rise. However this would only be feasible if “keep clear” traffic cones were deployed on the narrower parts of Dane Rise to prevent parking. In this scenario, passengers who live on Tyning Road would need to catch the bus either at Dane Rise OR at temporary bus stops on the bypass.
