A NIGHTTIME lane closure will be in place on Countess Roundabout on the A303 from next week.

The closure will be on weeknights from 8pm to 6am, for three weeks of drainage and sewerage surveys starting on Monday, October 7.

Following these surveys, a further six weeks of ground investigation work will be taking place at the roundabout from the start of next month. 

This work will involve the drilling of boreholes and shallow trial pits, with lane closures in place for safety reasons.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
