Bassett). Rejoin the M4 at Junction 16.
Westbound Traffic
Both Heavy and Light Vehicles:
Leave the M4 at J16

We have been in consultation with the
InterRoute Communication Manager, Mr Stephen Osborne-Brown,
regarding the increased overnight traffic through Lyneham
and in particular Wootton Bassett. We raised concern that
both projects will conflict owing to the major sewage works
in progress on the Wootton Bassett High Street. We have been
assured that both InterRoute and Wessex Water have been in
regular communication and planned works at the sewage repairs,
should not affect the planned diversions.
The single westward diversion route
has been planned to alleviate congestion routes through Wootton
Bassett on the southbound traffic, should the Wessex Drainage
rework be still in progress. |
