Bridgwater road works and hospital access

Traffic controls are in place on 2 roads in Bridgwater to allow works linked to the planned Agratas battery facility.

The works, being carried out by Agratas’s contractor, JSM Group Services Ltd, are needed to install underground power cables connecting Gravity site in Puriton to Bridgwater’s electricity substation.

Bower Lane and Westonzoyland Road (A372) will be affected for approximately 1 month. Bower Lane is also scheduled to be closed in phases from early September to late December.

  • Westonzoyland Road: night time closure, from 7pm to 7am. During this time there will be a 2-way temporary traffic light system with access remaining in both directions.
  • Bower Lane: a 1-way systems and multi-way traffic lights to allow works along the road which will be carried out in several phases. Work started Monday 5 August under traffic lights, followed by a 1-way system introduced between Bath Road and the hospital roundabout. Traffic will only be able to access the hospital from the A39 direction (Bath Road) and will need to follow a signed diversion via Whitfield Road when exiting.

Access will be maintained at all times for directly affected businesses and homes. However, residents should plan ahead and leave extra time for journeys, for example when travelling for hospital appointments.
