We appreciate there is a lot of work going on in Weston at the moment and this is impacting on journey times. We are investing heavily in improvements to public transport, bridge structures and the general condition of our roads and this may be causing some delays.
If you would like to find out more about any impact to your journey please visit our website.
The essential upgrades to the A370 are to ensure the road continues to serve motorists safely and efficiently for years to come.
The programme includes a mix of resurfacing, patching and preventative maintenance across several stretches.
A370 Somerset Avenue (West Wick Roundabout to Hutton Moor Roundabout) including the Airport Roundabout:
- Extensive carriageway patching on Somerset Avenue and Flowerdown Bridge
- Full resurfacing of the Airport Roundabout and all entry and exit roads.
During these road closures, crews will also:
- Cut back overgrown vegetation on verges and central reservations
- Conduct litter picking along the verges
- Apply joint sealant to treat cracks and prevent future deterioration
- Empty roadside drainage gullies to improve water run-off.
The work will be carried out using overnight road closures between Monday 20 October and Friday 1 November. These will be in place 8pm to 6am on Monday to Friday.
A370 Herluin Way (Winterstoke Roundabout to Hutton Moor Roundabout):
- Extensive patching on the dual carriageway
- Traffic signal upgrading
- Joint sealing works to prevent further deterioration
- Tree coppicing near the Hutton Moor Road junction
- Replacement of high-friction surfacing at pedestrian crossings near Carbase and the Hutton Moor junction—enhancing grip and improving safety, especially in wet conditions
- Vegetation clearance, litter picking, and gully emptying.
The work will be carried out using overnight road closures between 8pm and 6am.
These will be in place westbound (inbound) between Monday 3 November and Friday 7 November and eastbound (outbound) between Monday 10 November and Friday 15 November.
Traffic marshalls will be on hand to help with access arrangements and a clear diversion route will be in place.
These works represent a significant investment in the town’s road infrastructure—helping to keep Weston’s transport network safe, efficient and well-maintained.
While temporary disruption is unavoidable, every effort is being made to minimise inconvenience, and the improvements will soon provide long-lasting benefits for all who travel on this vital route.
