We have now found some further details of the roadworks along Quantock Road. A new main electricity cable is being laid on behalf or National Grid from a substation near the junction of Quantock Road and Wembdon Road to (we believe) the Cokerhurst Farm housing development.

The three way temporary traffic lights at the junction of Quantock and Wembdon Roads caused minimal traffic disruption last week. They were removed for the weekend, but have been reinstated this week. Once the initial work in that location has been completed, cable laying will continue westwards along Quantock Road. Three-way temporary traffic lights will be used when the work is near the junctions with Quantock Avenue and Danesboro Road, otherwise, two-way lights will be in use. There will inevitably be an impact on traffic on the A39.

We have no information yet on the potential impact of the work when it reaches the roundabout at Homberg Way.

According to the information provided by Causeway one.network the work could last until 10th July.

Further information should be available from National Grid on 0800 096 3080 quoting works reference numbers LN0832535529B and LN0832535529D.

There will be three-way temporary traffic lights on Quantock Road at its junction with Danesboro Road, and at its junction with Wembdon Road, both starting at 8am on 5th May. These will allow National Grid to carry out “Utility Asset Works”.

According to the information provided by Causeway one.network the work will last until 10th July, but as this seems to be a particularly long time for temporary traffic lights to be in place we are trying to obtain further details.

Further information should be available from National Grid on 0800 096 3080 quoting works reference numbers LN0832535529B and LN0832535529D.

Blakes Lane will be closed during the period 1st to 5th May. The closure will allow “Kiely Bros to carry out prep works, surface dressing and associated works on behalf of Somerset Highways”.

According to Somerset Council’s surface dressing notice, “each phase of the works will take place for one day within the stated period unless otherwise advised. The road will be reopened when no work is taking place.”

We expect vehicle access to be allowed to all premises on the affected roads, except for short periods when the location of the work prevents it. The recommended diversion route will be signposted.
