when i hear about suggested diversion routes i’ll let you’s lot know.
best of luck and you have been warned.
the concrete is falling apart.
not many people want to go there but the ones that are already there like to amuse their simple little minds by tearing round the roundabout because they can.
have you tried that new stuff called tarmac? could lay it in 3 hours
Thanks for info. Very helpful as I only live a little way up the road.
I would think diversions will be off at J24 or 26 and south or north on A38
concrete coming out saturday nights, kerbs going in sunday mornings and asphalt going down sunday evenings.
well, that’s the plan!
That should be fun,one of our farms has it’s entrance 100 yards off the roundabout heading down the A358…and it clears it 2 weeks time,will have to let the lads know 
well, that was the first weekend and all went pretty much to plan.
traffic was very very slow during the day, i had to go out and taunton was at a standstill. best avoid the area for the next 5 weekends.
had about a dozen drive through the ‘WORKS ACCESS’ areas and join us. bloody stupid impatient car drivers.
but, all in all went well, bring on next weekend.
no-one goes to Taunton
