Dunster Steep Traffic Lights

We can report that traffic at the Dunster Steep traffic lights has been flowing much better through the works site, thanks to the measures taken last week.

Here’s what to expect over the coming weeks:

Mondays and Fridays: two-way traffic will be maintained, with priority given to Butlins traffic.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, from Tuesday 27th January: there will need to be a one-way shuttle in place at most times. We will manually control the lights at peak times to reduce queuing as much as possible. We need to do to this so we can get the work done as quickly and safely as possible, and two-way traffic won’t allow us to do this.

It’s worth planning ahead on these days and factoring a slightly longer journey time. We will do our best to minimise this, but it’s important we get this work done as quickly as possible so that we can get off the network.
