Thank you - bath.ac.uk · wall stabilisation and footway resurfacing, on the A36 south of Bath....

During the work To enable repairs to be carried out efficiently, the A36 will be fully closed to through-traffic. Some minor roads in the vicinity of Limpley Stoke may also be closed to control potential “rat running”. Access to Limpley Stoke and Monkton Combe, via the A36 will be controlled through the use of gate- houses. A 'permit' system will be in place to assist residents and businesses. Clearly signed diversion routes will be in operation for the duration of the scheme. Details are printed in this publication. There will be some disruption to the local bus services whilst the work is being carried out. However, we are trying to minimise this by providing a shuttle service to assist the main bus. Who can I contact regarding the work? You can telephone the Highways Agency Information Line on 08457 50 40 30 or email: [email protected]. You can also visit the Highways Agency website: http://www.highways.gov.uk/roads/projects/17586.aspx Thank you The planned repairs to the A36 will inevitably cause inconvenience to many people. However this project is essential to secure the long term stability and safety of the road. The Highways Agency would like to thank residents, businesses and motorists for their patience during this time.
