Start date: 31st March 2008
Duration: 12 weeks
Work by: InterRoute on behalf of the Highways Agency

Brief desciption:  This is a major slope stabilisation, retaining wall stabilisation, partial carriageway reconstruction and footway resurfacing scheme, on the A36 south of Bath.

Reason for the work: The slope to the west of the A36 at Limpley Stoke is beginning to fail and has resulted in the safety barrier foundations becoming unsafe. Similarly the stone retaining wall, between the canal arch and the railway arch, at Monkton Combe is showing signs of failure. Over a period of time rain water has worn away at the granular material behind the wall, which now needs repairing.

Traffic Management: Diversion routes will be clearly signed and in operation for the duration of the scheme

UPDATE - The B3108 junction with the A36 is open during the day from 7am to 7pm – this is available to light traffic only. There are temporary traffic signals positioned to allow a fair flow through the junction.
