The road, which connects Watchet and Blue Anchor, served as an important diversion for holidaymakers and locals, especially when the nearby A39 route was congested. The closure was imposed indefinitely by Somerset County Council due to coastal erosion risks, reducing access options to Watchet’s town centre.
