Road closures across North Somerset during week of roadworks: Full list

Paul JonesJune 23, 20250 Comment0

A HOST of resurfacing roadworks will get underway in North Somerset – starting next month.

The ‘essential works’ aim to improve key routes in the district, and will be completed in phases.

However, some road closures will be put in place – with drivers warned to expect some delays.

North Somerset Council (NSC) said the ‘surface dressing’ work aims to prevent deterioration and potholes.

“There is a small window of opportunity for this as it only takes a few years for water to enter the road surface and make it crack and degrade,” a spokesperson said. “Once this starts to happen the road will need full resurfacing.”

The process entails spraying the road with bitumen and covering it with stone chippings, after which the road is then rolled, which along with the action of the slow moving traffic, embeds the chippings into the surface.

Excess chippings are then swept up and the lining replaced at a later date.

However, as surface dressing is weather dependent, some dates of works may change.

Signs will be put in place to update road users of any disruption to their journey.

The following roads in North Somerset will be surface dressed with road closures in place on the following dates:

Wednesday, July 9: B3133 Brinsea Road and Stock Lane, Congresbury. Closure between Venus Street to the roundabout with Langford Lane between 9.30am and 3.30pm.

Cllr Hannah Young, NSC’s cabinet member for highways, said: “Surface dressing provides added protection to the carriageway surface as well as enhancing the skid resistance, making it safer to drive on.

“This added protection extends the life of the carriageway surface by up to 10 years, which mean it is an important part of our work to maintain our roads as efficiently as possible, alongside programmes for full resurfacing and pothole repair.

“We appreciate our surface dressing programme will cause some inconvenience but it is an essential process which safe guards the condition of our roads for years to come.”
