As part of North Somerset Council’s commitment to invest in roads Yatton and Kenn will see £750,000 worth of improvements along the B3133.

Planned road closures

Details of planned road closures related to the improvements will be published here as soon as the programme is finalised.

Because of the nature of the engineering work, and the impact of weather on the work, these may change so please check this page regularly for the most up-to-date details.

Details of the scheme

The resurfacing scheme covers Yatton High Street from the mini-roundabout with Wemberham Lane to Henley Lane and a section of North End Road from the recreation field to Ham Lane, covering the junction with Lampley Road near the Bridge Inn pub.

There will be improvements to footpaths, drainage, kerbing and signage, as well as new parking arrangements along the High Street.

Yatton Parish Council has funded a new zebra crossing which is being built near Barberry Farm Road.

Construction will start in mid-January and will involve reducing the road down to one lane in some sections. Resurfacing will have to be done using overnight road closures as it is not safe to keep the road open while laying the hot asphalt. Details of closures will be publicised on this page. Work is due to be finished by Easter.

We are committed to investing in roads and this work is part of a programme of improvements across the district.

The B3133 is a vital link and residents have asked for the road to be resurfaced because of its poor condition.

Resurfacing is the most cost-effective way of managing roads because it extends the life of the road, rather than short-term reactive patching and pothole filling.
