A £300,000 scheme to improve Stock Way North at Nailsea will start on Monday, June 10.

The work, which will involve resurfacing, sign replacement and kerbing and footpath repairs, will be carried out in three phases.

The aim of the project is to prolong the life of this important route.

To minimise disruption, the work will be carried out using a night closure between 8pm-6am. Traffic marshals will be on site to provide advice on access arrangements for residents.

The scheme will be completed in the following phases:

Phase One – Monday and Tuesday, June 10- 11. Resurfacing work from the junction of Stock Way South to the junction of Clevedon Road (B3130)

Phase Two – Wednesday and Thursday, June 12- 13. Resurfacing work from the junction with Clevedon Road (B3130) to the junction with High Street

Phase Three – Friday to Tuesday, June 14-18. Resurfacing work from the junction of Stock Way North to the junction of Lodge Lane.

North Somerset Council newest executive member with responsibility for roads JamesTonkin said: “This is a key route in Nailsea and these improvements will prolong the life of this road and footway for years to come.

“We would urge people to be patient while these essential works are completed.”

Buses will be diverted while the roadworks is underway.

When the road is closed  between Service 7 will divert via Clevedon Road in both directions.

The bus stops including and between Ravenswood School and Stock Way North will not be served.

Service 9 will divert full length of Mizzymead Road, Station Road and Brockway to resume normal route in both directions.

The bus stops including and between Stock Way South and Stock Way North will not be served.

There will be a further overnight closures required from Wednesday, June 12 linked to this closure click HERE for more information.

First bus company say the closure may be cancelled due to weather conditions.

The scheme is part of the council’s ongoing maintenance programme of its 1,100km network.

|And North Somerset Council will surface-dress a six-kilometre stretch of the busy A38, between the South Bristol Link Road and the junction with Downside Road, across the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, June 15-16.

Surface dressing costs around a quarter of full resurfacing options and takes days rather than weeks to complete. It increases the life of a road by up to 12 years, protects it from water damage and improves surface skid resistance, which makes the road safer.

The A38 surface dressing will be carried out between 5am-noon. Traffic heading out of Bristol towards the airport during these hours will be diverted along South Bristol Link Road, A370 and Brockley Combe.

Outside these hours, the A38 will be open with temporary reduced speed limits until line painting is finished later in the week.

North Somerset Council newest executive member with responsibility for roads JamesTonkin said: “Surface dressing is an excellent way for us to maintain as many roads as possible with the budget available.

“As well as being cheaper, it is also faster than other options, meaning we can keep disruption on this very important route to a minimum.

“Treating roads in this way also prevents them declining and needing a much more expensive repair in the future.

“We are working closely with Bristol Airport to ensure their passengers and staff are aware of the need to allow extra travelling time.”

Drivers are urged to be patient during the works and people due to arrive at Bristol Airport while work is ongoing are advised to allow extra journey time.

The work will be carried out by North Somerset Council’s contractors, Skanska, and will cost £380,000.
