Wiltshire Council has announced a series of temporary road closures in the village of Box to enable Openreach to carry out essential cable recovery and overhead cabling works. The affected areas include Lower Kingsdown Road, as well as sections of the C4 and C184 roads.
These closures are scheduled to occur on various dates throughout September. Wiltshire Council has assured that all closures and diversions will be clearly signposted, with signed diversion routes in place to guide motorists. Access for residents and local businesses will be maintained wherever possible, though some delays are expected due to the nature of the work.
The temporary traffic orders associated with these closures each have a maximum duration of 18 months, allowing for contingency time. However, the council anticipates that the works will be completed within the stated timeframe, subject to weather conditions.
