Sunday Motoring Section
These are this week's proposed local road closures and other significant works affecting main routes to Minehead, Tiverton, Taunton and South Molton:
This week:
-
The return of disruption on the way out of Taunton this week as the A358 Staplegrove Road will close one-way near Staplegrove Village Hall to fix flooding issues. The work is only in the westbound side so the route into Taunton will be clear
-
Lanacre Bridge closed until who knows when
-
Off our normal patch but imagine it will affect a few of us: M5 full and partial closures between J25(Taunton) and J24(Wellington) for bridge work. Today: lane closures both ways; Monday: SOUTHBOUND shut; Tue–Fri: SHUT BOTH WAYS, every night; Mon 16th Nov: shut both ways; Tue 17th Nov: NORTHBOUND shut (J26 to J25)
