Somerset Council will be resurfacing one of the county’s key roads next week.

Work on the B3224 Church Hill in Exford will be done across 5 days from Monday 24 March to Friday 28 March inclusive.

Following initial work under temporary traffic lights on Monday, the road will be closed to vehicles from Tuesday 25 March to Friday 28 March, from 9.30am to 3.30pm. The road will be open as normal outside these hours.

A diversion route will be in place during closure hours.

Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout for residents – there may be some restrictions or delays for vehicle access on occasion to some properties and residents should liaise with the site team on this.

Somerset Council’s Lead Member for Transport and Waste Services, Councillor Richard Wilkins said:

This is an important scheme delivering a fresh surface on a busy, vital route across Exmoor.

The team will do their best to get the work completed as quickly and painlessly as possible – please do liaise with them if you are a resident and need to raise any issues around access.

We are extremely grateful to residents for their support and understanding while this work is done.

If you spot a problem on the road you can report it quickly and easily via the Council’s Report a problem on the road webpage.
