The A303 will remain closed for a second consecutive night due to the aftermath of a significant hay fire that caused extensive damage in the area. Authorities have confirmed that the road is unlikely to reopen until Wednesday afternoon as emergency services and clean-up crews work to ensure the site is safe for motorists once again.
The fire, which broke out earlier this week, led to the closure of the busy trunk road, causing disruption for commuters and travellers in the region. While the blaze has been extinguished, ongoing operations to clear debris and assess structural safety are taking longer than initially anticipated.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes and stay updated on the latest travel information as officials continue their efforts to restore normal traffic flow. Local authorities have expressed their commitment to reopening the A303 as swiftly and safely as possible.
