A370 CLOSURE

Published: 28 April 2026

Information from National Grid on traffic management on Weston Road (A370) at Hewish as part of reinstatement works for the Hinkley Connection Project.

A full overnight road closure will be in place on Weston Road (A370), between Heathfield Park and Oaktree Yard, from Monday 27 April to Thursday 30 April 2026. The closure will operate between 10pm and 6am each night, with the road reopened during the daytime.

During this time, we will be carrying out reinstatement works, including resurfacing and road marking.

A Traffic Management Operative (TMO) will be on site during closure hours to assist residents with access to their residences, and emergency services will be permitted through at all times.

During the closure, a signed diversion will be in place via the following route:

Traffic will be diverted via the A38 between Weston-super-Mare and Bristol Airport

From the A38, drivers will be directed along the A368 towards Churchill and Sandford

The route then reconnects towards Weston-super-Mare via the A371 and A370

See National Grid traffic management webpage to reflect this change for wider awareness.
