Diversions as Swindon's Blagrove Roundabout to close for three weeks (original) (raw)

Traffic will be diverted overnight during the works, but the roundabout will stay open during the day to minimise disruption.

A council spokesperson said: "While every effort is being made to reduce disruption, drivers are advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for journeys during the overnight closure periods.

"The roundabout is one of the more than 30 roads set to be resurfaced in 2026/27 as set out in the council's Local Transport Plan."

Councillor Chris Watts, cabinet member for transport, previously said that to help keep drivers moving, the council needs to make sure roads are in the "best condition they can be with limited resources".

"Now that we're able to do more resurfacing and proper maintenance, it should mean that there are fewer problems with potholes," Watts added.
