RESURFACING work is scheduled to take place along Lays Drive in Keynsham later this month.
The project, starting on Monday March 23, is expected to take up to five days to complete, depending on the weather.
Road closures will be in place from 7am to 7pm. Vehicles parked within the closure may be removed to avoid delaying the work.
Bath & North East Somerset Council, which is working in partnership with its contractor Volker Highways, said: “Residents will need to make their own arrangements to find alternative parking. Unfortunately, this also applies to disabled parking spaces within the area of work. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
Advance notices will be placed at the road entrance to warn drivers of the closure. Restricted vehicle access for residents’ private driveways within the closures will be maintained whenever possible.
Access will be controlled by traffic marshals, who will also advice on likely access windows as the work progresses.
B&NES Council’s highways team said: “Unfortunately, there will be times when access will not be possible, so please be prepared for delays, disruption and make alternative arrangements before these works start.”
Residents are advised to warn any delivery drivers or visitors of the closure. Emergency services will always have access during the work, and the council is working with its waste service team to ensure collections are not disrupted, although there may be occasions when this is not possible.
News of the resurfacing project has been welcomed by councillors George Leach and Alex Beaumont, who represent Keynsham North on B&NES Council.
Cllr Leach said: “Myself and Cllr Beaumont secured funding for this work so are pleased to see it scheduled to take place.
“Residents are frequently telling us that the desperately poor state of the road on Lays Drive has been one of their biggest frustrations, so we’re pleased we’ve been able to resolve that despite the tight budgets and challenges facing local authorities.”
