Without advance warning we have learned that the B3108 (the road from Winsley to the A36) will be closed to traffic by its junction with the A36 opposite Brassknocker Hill from 11th January until 5th February - or maybe a little sooner if the weather and pace of work permits. The need for the closure is to enable the installation of safety barriers along the edge of the embankment at that point.

 

There will be signage to warn drivers of the closure, to divert them well away from the area and to discourage the use of the roads and lanes of Freshford and Limpley Stoke as a rat runs. However, despite this, there may well be additional traffic passing through the villages while the work is in process.
