Wiltshire Council began work on Monday, July 27, and says the scheme is expected to continue for ten weeks until Friday, October 2. The project, which has been classed as major highway works, will involve improvements to both the carriageway and footway. Mortimer Street will be closed for some or all of the construction period while the work is carried out. Wiltshire Council is advising motorists to allow extra time for their journeys while the improvement scheme is underway. The works are scheduled to run until October 2, although completion dates are subject to change depending on progress and weather conditions.
