White Hart roundabout will be reopening this weekend after being closed since the middle of August.
Although the roundabout will be open from Sunday 14th November, works will still be ongoing meaning there is still a need for traffic management to be in place on the road, including lane closures and temporary signage.
Re-surfacing work on the A420 and surrounding slip roads will be carried over the next four weeks under night-time closures, to reduce the impact on residents and businesses.
A Swindon Boru=ough Council spokesperson said ‘The reconstruction work at White Hart roundabout was necessary as the road was reaching the end of its service life. The impact of increasing traffic levels and modern heavy goods vehicles had left the roundabout foundation in poor condition, resulting in increasing numbers of potholes and wider surface defects.
‘Over the last three months, our contractor Osborne Infrastructure Ltd, has dug down almost a metre beneath the surface to build a new structure for the road base. The new stronger carriageway is 45 per cent thicker than before.
‘The reconstruction work has not been without its challenges. But, through careful planning and extended working hours, the contractor has been able to shorten the programme and take advantage of the dry weather through September and October.’
