Wednesday, 8 January 2025 06:05

New Canal and High Street in Salisbury will be closed to traffic in the evening for 12 days, beginning on Monday, January 20th.

The closure allows Wiltshire Council to carry out drainage investigation work and works that result from those investigations.

The plan is for the closure to come into operation on 20th January 2025, and the closure will be required between the hours of 19:00 and 23:59 until 31st January 2025

Access will be maintained for residents and businesses where possible, although delays are likely due to the nature of the works.

To avoid the closure, traffic will be diverted via Brown Street, New Street and Fisherton Street.
