A TEMPORARY one-way system put in place on a Taunton road today (Monday, March 7) will remain until the start of next month.

The restriction on a 150-metre stretch of Kilkenny Court will enable Wessex Water to replace an ageing water main.

The main is "prone to leaks and bursts", according to a company spokesperson.

One lane of the road has been closed from its junction with Clifton Terrace.

The other lane remains open, allowing vehicles exiting the Kilkenny Car Park to reach Clifton Terrace.

Access is being maintained for residential home users/residents and emergency vehicles.

Vehicles can exit the Kilkenny Car Park and reach Clifton Terrace using the other lane of Kilkenny Court.

Vehicles wanting to enter the Kilkenny Car Park are being diverted via Clifton Terrace, Kingston Road and Taunton Station road and then back onto Kilkenny Court from the south to do so - effectively a one-way system. The diversion route is clearly marked.

The water main replacement work is scheduled to finish Friday, April 1.
