A ROAD closure and parking restrictions will be put in place during works in a North Somerset village next month.
From February 17, restrictions will be in place in Dundry Lane, Dundry, to improve the condition of the road surface.
North Somerset Council said the work will be carried out in two stages, taking two weeks to complete.
The first stage, running from February 17 to 21, will involve road resurfacing and general maintenance work between the Dundry Lane junction with Church Road, to its junction with Highridge Road, and from the Church Road junction to 70m south of Dundry Lane.
A road closure will be in place from 8am to 5pm during the school half-term holiday in a bid to minimise disruption at Dundry CofE Primary School.
Pavement patching and minor kerb replacement works will also be carried out in the first stage, on the first 750m of Dundry Lane, from the junction with the A38 Bridgwater Road. Parking will be restricted and traffic cones put in place.
The second stage of the scheme will involve road resurfacing and general maintenance from the junction of the first 750m of Dundry Lane, running south from the junction with the A38 Bridgwater Road.
They will run between Monday, February 24 and 28, with the road closed throughout. Parking will be restricted and traffic cones put in place, while access to adjoining roads will be maintained where possible, the council added.

Cllr Hannah Young, executive member for highways and transport at North Somerset Council, said: “This is an important maintenance scheme for Dundry Lane, which will help to enhance the longer-term resilience of the road, and improve conditions for everyone using it.
“We really appreciate everyone’s patience while we undertake these works and are doing what we can to minimise disruption, by scheduling this work to start outside of term time.
“Please be aware however that people will need to be prepared to park elsewhere during the scheme, to allow this work to be undertaken as smoothly and efficiently as possible for the community.
“We are writing to directly affected residents and businesses to make them aware, and we urge everyone to please check www.one.network for the latest diversion information before you travel.”
Cllr Annemieke Waite, the ward member for Dundry, said: “The condition of Dundry Lane has deteriorated considerably over the years, and residents have long desired improvements to be made. I am delighted, therefore, that this work has now been scheduled.”
