The A361 provides a key link between Taunton and numerous Somerset villages, connecting up with both the A39 to Street and Glastonbury and the A372 towards Langport. Temporary traffic lights have been in effect on the bridge over the River Parrett in Burrowbridge since June 29, with Somerset Council upgrading the existing lights as part of its ongoing upgrade to traffic signals across the county. Unless the lights are replaced, they risk failing and causing lengthy disruption for both motorists and pedestrians on one of rural Somerset's busiest roads. Throughout the scheme, members of the public can contact the project's public liaison officer Syed Shah by emailing syed.shah@somerset.gov.uk or by calling 07812 449605. Motorists wishing to reach Taunton from the eastern side of Burrowbridge will follow the same diversion in reverse, adding up to 21 miles to journeys in each direction.
