National Highways have provided us the following information and how it may effect residents of Chard:

National Highways will now be carrying out works between 8pm–6am, with the A303 closed in both directions between Devonshire House and Southfields roundabout. This is to complete two schemes in one go:

•           Renewing white lines and replacing road studs

•           Resurfacing

Signed diversion routes via Chard will be in place during the closure. Limited local access to the A303 will be possible between Stopgate Cross and Broadway Hill junction.

Although the closure covers a significant stretch, doing both of these schemes in one night avoids two separate closures and helps minimise disruption for local communities.

We appreciate your patience while we carry out this important work to improve your journeys.

Please check online for the latest information. You can check our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England website.
