Roads, Roadworks & Traffic
Temporary Closure of Crowe Hill, Limpley Stoke
From 09:00 on Monday 17th March for 3 days
Wiltshire Council will be closing Crowe Hill from its junction with Cliffe Drive for approximately 70 meters in the north-westerly direction towards Bath.
This is to enable Wessex Water to carry out repairs to leaking stop tap in carriageway and associated works.
Access will be maintained for residents and businesses where possible, although delays are likely due to the nature of the works.

A36 Closure Update: Posted on 18th February 2025
Overnight retexturing works prior to A36 reopening
We have received information from National Highways of some limited emerging works ahead of the A36 re-opening.
The nights of Mon 24th - Tues 25th February
Overnight carriageway retexturing works will take place on Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th February.
Details as follows:
Area north of Limpley Stoke Viaduct through Brassknocker junction
The permanent traffic lights at the bottom of Brassknocker Hill will be replaced by temporary traffic lights between 20:00 and 06:00 on both nights to enable the retexturing works to be carried out.
Area south of Limpley Stoke Viaduct
For the area south of Limpley Stoke Viaduct, the retexturing will take place under the full closure currently in place. Work is expected to start in this area at around 18:00.
Note: Weds 26th, Thurs 27th and Fri 28th Feb will be kept as contingency in case bad weather cancels shifts.
A36 Closure Update: Posted on 31st January 2025
A36 partial opening
A single lane of the A36 is to be reopened by 0600 on 1st March 2025. There will be temporary traffic lights to control traffic through the work site.
Removal of local traffic management arrangements
All other traffic management equipment and set-up on the A36 and local roads will be removed; this includes the speed restriction on the B3108, the lane closure on Lower Stoke, the road closure on Tucking Mill Lane and any other temporary signage at junctions of the A36.
Given the situation presented by the long term closure, and the familiarity with the route through Limpley Stoke, we will monitor the traffic flows through the village as there is a chance some drivers will look to use the route via Church Lane if there is significant queuing traffic on the A36.
Traffic congestion monitoring
In the event that traffic and, more importantly congestion, is becoming a problem in Limpley Stoke, we will reinstate the short closure and access restriction on Lower Stoke with the ANPR van.
Given the range of views within the community, this was discussed with both the Parish and Wiltshire County Highways and the consensus was that this iterative approach is the most reasonable way forward.

Pedestrian Protection & Safety
Traffic Management & Safety
Parking in the Village
Road & Pavement Maintenance
Main Roads & Wider Area Issues (through the Valley Parishes Alliance VPA)
