After months of cones, diversions and delays, motorists, residents and businesses can breathe a sigh of relief as Devizes Road has officially reopened.
The essential gas works, which had caused considerable disruption in Old Town, have now been completed, restoring one of the area’s key routes.
The reopening is particularly welcome news for local businesses who rely on easy access for their customers. Businesses along Devizes Road and the surrounding area have seen footfall affected, but with the barriers now gone, normal service can finally resume.
Residents have already expressed their relief at the reopening, noting how much easier it is to move around without lengthy diversions. For those visiting the independent shops, bars, restaurants and travel agencies along the street, the news couldn’t have come at a better time.
With Devizes Road now fully operational again, businesses are encouraging people to return and show their support. The improved flow of traffic and pedestrian access will undoubtedly boost activity in this vibrant part of Swindon.
