A361, Burrowbridge – Update on Proposed Water Main Replacement
Phase two of A361 Burrowbridge water main repairs
As you may recall, last year we wrote to you about investigation work that Wessex Water was carrying out on the water main attached to the A361 road bridge over the River Parrett in the centre of Burrowbridge.
This main was installed in the 1960s and the sleeve designed to protect it has sustained damage leaving the pipe at risk of further deterioration and leaks.
Last August’s initial investigations involved the digging of trial holes to allow our teams to determine where connections to the existing water main can be made ahead of a proposed pipe replacement scheme.
Following their completion, we’re now planning the second phase of the work, which will see connections made to the existing water main either side of the road bridge and a short section of main installed across the A361 at either end.
This phase of work will allow us to quickly connect a temporary overland pipe to the network and significantly reduce the time required for the final phase of the project, about which we will write to you at a later date.
Phase 2 work
Working with Somerset Council, permission has been granted for a closure of the A361 across the bridge to through traffic between 8am on Monday, 7 April and 5pm on Thursday, 17 April 2025.
A diversion, using the A361 (Burrow Wall), Townsend, A372 (Langport Road), into Bridgwater using Parkway, A39 (Bath Road), A38 (Broadway and Taunton Road) and then the A361 will be in place.
Manned ‘soft closures’ will be in place in Othery and just outside Burrowbridge to remind heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) that the road is shut in Burrowbridge and allow them the chance to turn around and follow the diversion.
In addition, variable message (VMS) signs will be in place at the junction of the A39 (Bath Road) and A361 (Taunton Road near Ashcott, at the junction of the A38 and A361 north of Taunton and in Othery to advise road users about the closure.
There may be some noise disruption while this work is carried, but every effort will be made to keep this to a minimum. Water supply and sewerage services can be used as normal unless we advise otherwise.
We will shortly be writing to customers in the area to inform them about this second phase and, will also be issuing an advisory to local media. I have attached a copy of those with this email for your information.
Once plans for the final phase are confirmed, we will contact customers and stakeholders again to outline the extent of that work and the likely impact of it on the local community, prior to it getting under way.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by our work and should you have any questions regarding these investigations, please do not hesitate to contact me via this email address.
